Cypress Spurge, Euphorbia cyparissias, bears sulphur-yellow flowers, which sometimes turn orange, in contrast with needle-like, blue-green foliage. Growing to a height of just 30cm, it’s perfect for using as ground cover, even in dry shade.

Grow Euphorbia cyparissias in moist but well-drained soil in full sun to shade. Remove faded flowers after blooming. Always wear gloves when working with spurges, as the milky sap is a skin irritant and can damage your eyes.
