Euphorbia x martini is a lovely spurge, bearing dark grey-green rosettes of leaves and upright bracts in lime-green with a red eye.
Grow Euphorbia x martini in well-drained soil in full sun to dappled shade, such as in a gravel garden, where it can gradually spread to form a low, weed smothering carpet. The flowers persist until summer, gradually fading to pale-green. Cut back to the ground before the first frosts.
Always wear gloves when working with euphorbias. The milky sap is a skin irritant.
