Euphorbia 'Excalibur' is an upright spurge with attractive foliage that emerges red in spring, later maturing to grey-green. In summer sprays of pretty bright yellow flowers appear.
Grow Euphorbia 'Excalibur' in well-drained soil in partial shade, such as in a gravel garden. Cut back to the ground before the first frosts.
Always wear gloves when working with euphorbias. The milky sap is a skin irritant.
