Euphorbia griffithii 'Fireglow' (Spurge)
|
|
Euphorbia griffithii 'Fireglow' is one of the most splendid perennials in cultivation. The orange to red flower heads make a fine show in spring and early summer, combining especially well with blue flowers such as brunneras, aquilegias and forget-me-nots. The 60 to 90 cm high stems covered with distinctive green leaves with white mid-ribs form a distinctive feature, especially when they develop side branches after the flowers are out.
It is deciduous, and the young shoots emerging from the ground in early spring are often tinged with brown or pink. The plant spreads by creeping underground rhizomes and can cover a large area in sandy soils.
