Euphorbia epithymoides 'First Blush'

Euphorbia epithymoides has dark green, lance-shaped leaves, which perfectly complement its bright yellow, star-shaped flowers. Perennial, Euphorbia epithymoides flowers earlier than many euphorbia varieties, and has a short flowering season. However, it adds interest to the border in autumn as its foliage turns a dramatic bronze colour.

Euphorbia epithymoides 'First Blush' has light green leaves with wide, cream-colored margins, and rose-pink flowers. It's perfect for growing with grasses and dark-flowered plants in ornamental displays.

Always wear gloves when working with euphorbias. The milky sap is a skin irritant.
