Wood Spurge, Mrs Robb's Bonnet, Robb's Spurge, Euphorbia robbiae
Euphorbia amygdaloides var. robbiae (Wood Spurge) is a spreading evergreen perennial forming colonies of rosettes of shiny, deep green, leathery leaves from which arise large rounded sprays of showy, lime-green flowers in late spring or early summer which last for months. The plant spreads by underground runners until, eventually, the evergreen leaves form a low weed-smothering carpet over the ground. Perfect under trees, in woodland settings, very attractive ground cover.
