Wood Spurge 'Ruby Glow', Euphorbia 'Waleuphglo', Euphorbia martinii Walberton's Ruby Glow
Euphorbia amygdaloides Ruby Glow’ (Wood Spurge) is a compact, nicely branched, evergreen perennial with rosettes of leathery, ruby red leaves when young, which mature to purple-black. They contrast with bright cherry red stems from which arise sprays of showy, yellow inflorescences borne on chartreuse floral bracts in late spring or early summer. The eye-catching appearance of this spurge makes it a great ornamental plant in gardens and containers.
