Euphorbia x martinii
Martin's Spurge
Description
This spurge is a handsome winter foliage plant, Euphorbia x martinii produces dark greyish-green rosettes of leaves on stiff stems that reach 2ft. The flowers, which appear as spring glides into summer, form an upright spike of lime-green bracts - each studded with a tomato-red eye. This combination of zingy lime green with a hint of warm red is one of the most alluring in the plant kingdom. E. x martinii also has poise; each leafy rosette is perfectly balanced by the flower head.
