Euphorbia × martinii 'Walberton’s Little Treasure' (PBR)
spurge
A striking evergreen with compact, bushy growth, this perennial spurge brings year-round colour to well-drained, sunny borders and patio pots. Its bright yellow foliage catches the eye, while new shoots emerge with a lime tint in spring. Small, zesty green flowers with red centres appear early in the season, adding a subtle but lively display. As temperatures cool, the young shoots turn a warm copper, showcasing autumn interest.
The rounded, neat habit makes it perfect for borders, gravel gardens, or containers. Low-maintenance and versatile, Euphorbia martinii 'Walberton’s Little Treasure' thrives in sun or partial shade and tolerates dry conditions once established. It works well as a foliage feature, complementing other perennials or drought-tolerant plants. Ideal for small spaces, its compact size allows easy planting in structured garden designs.

How to care for Euphorbia × martinii Walberton’s Little Treasure (PBR):
Plant in well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade, where it forms neat evergreen mounds topped with lime-green flower bracts in early spring. It’s slightly more compact and hardy than Euphorbia characias, coping better with partial shade and cooler or moister conditions.
Once established, it’s drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, needing only occasional watering during prolonged dry spells. After flowering, cut back spent stems to the base, but avoid removing fresh shoots that will produce next year’s display. Apply a light mulch in spring to conserve moisture and tidy older foliage as needed.
