Euphorbia × martini

Martin's spurge

RHS Award of Garden Merit

Size: 9cm pot Available: within 2-3 days

3 × 9cm pots Available:

  • Position: full sun
  • Soil: light, well-drained garden soil
  • Rate of growth: average to fast growing
  • Flowering period: March to July
  • Flower colour: chartreuse-green
  • Other features: all parts of the plant are poisonous and a potential skin and eye irritant
  • Hardiness: fully hardy

    Upright, fleshy stems clothed in spring with handsome red-stained, mid-green leaves, followed by clusters of long-lasting, red-eyed, chartreuse-green flowers. This evergreen spurge looks equally good when not in flower. More compact than many of its sun-loving cousins, it's perfect for a small sunny border, gravel or coastal garden.

  • Garden care: To promote new shoots remove flower heads in spring after they have flowered. When working with spurges always wear gloves since the milky sap is poisonous and a potential skin irritant
