Spurge
Euphorbia griffithii Fireglow
Stunning, fiery, bright red flowers with attractive, brick-red bracts make an eye-catching, showy feature in the border from June to September. This is a dramatic, exciting spurge with elongated, dark green leaves which are coppery-tinted and have attractive, bright red mid-ribs. Ideal for creating a dramatic impact in the garden, it looks beautiful in ‘hot’ planting schemes and combines well with yellow flowers or golden variegated foliage. It has a vigorous, bushy growth habit and associates well with ferns at a woodland edge. Drought tolerant once established and tolerant of heavy clay soils

Garden Care:
We recommend that you wear gloves when handling spurges as the thick, white sap is a poisonous and potential irritant. Incorporate lots of well-rotted organic matter into the backfill when planting. Apply generous well rotted organic mulch in early spring and keep well-watered during periods of dry weather. Please Note: Many perennials go ‘dormant’ which, in some cases, means that there is little or no top growth apparent between November and March. If you order perennials whilst they are dormant, they may not be visible above the soil level when purchased but will burst into life in spring. In the dormant period, we may not have stocks of all varieties in all pot sizes and therefore reserve the right to supply 9cm pots instead of 2 litre and adjust the price accordingly.
