Good plant #119 - Euphorbia Blackbird


A stunning euphorbia that provides both structure and colour. It is very compact and will tolerate very dry conditions once established. It doesn't seem to spread as much some varieties.

It thrives best in sunny well-drained and moderately fertile situations. However, it will cope with part shade and very dry conditions once established.

I remove fading flower heads of spurges.

You can divide this in spring after it has established for a couple of years.
