This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.

  • Position: full sun
  • Soil: well-drained soil
  • Rate of growth: average to fast
  • Flowering period: April to June
  • Hardiness: frost hardy (may require winter protection)

    An evergreen perennial with upright shoots bearing grey-green leaves edged with creamy white, reminiscent of tiger stripes. Conical flowerheads appear in spring, displaying creamy bracts, each with a chartreuse eye. A lover of sunny and drier spots in the garden, 'Tasmanian Tiger' will burn brightly alongside complementary perennials such as wallflower, valerian, and catmint.

  • Garden care: To promote new shoots remove flowered stems to their base in spring after the flowers have faded. When working with spurges always wear gloves since the milky sap is poisonous and a potential skin irritant. Best in a sheltered location and must have good drainage.
  • Humans/Pets: IRRITANT to skin/eye; harmful if eaten
