Euphorbia ‘Blue Lagoon’
Evergreen Spurge |
USDA Zone: 6-9 |
Plant number: 1.208.210
This hybrid Spurge is a terrific plant for adding a touch of spring colour to the border. It forms an upright, spreading mound of thick blue-green leaves, bearing clusters of bright chartreuse-yellow flowers for many weeks in the spring. New growth in the spring is flushed with red. Shear off the spent flower heads after blooming is over. Evergreen where hardy. Will fairly quickly form a patch, making this a good choice for filling in problem areas, particularly troublesome spots with dry soil. CAUTION: skin and eye irritant/toxic if eaten. USPP#14572: unlicensed propagation prohibited. Registered with COPF.
