Euphorbia

Upright stems clothed with fleshy grey-green leaves and huge clusters of chartreuse-green spring flowers. This handsome, architectural plant works well in contemporary minimalist gardens, traditional herbaceous borders and exposed coastal sites. It's easy to understand why Edwardian garden designer Gertrude Jekyll described it as 'one of the grandest of plants'Position: full sunSoil: light, well-drained garden soilRate of growth: fast growingFlowering period: March to MayFlower colour: chartreuse-greenOther features: fleshy grey-green leavesHardiness: fully hardy Garden care: In autumn cut back the faded flower stems, avoiding new ones. When working with spurges always wear gloves since the milky sap is poisonous and a potential skin irritant. Remove unwanted seedlings each spring as part of routine border maintenance
