Euphorbia griffithii Fireglow

Euphorbia griffithii Fireglow

Euphorbia griffithii Fireglow is a vigorous, rhizomatous perennial prized for its vivid orange-red bracts that brighten borders in late spring to early summer. Upright stems to around 90cm carry lance-shaped green leaves, often flushed red in cooler weather, forming spreading clumps ideal for mixed or cottage-style plantings. Grow in sun or light shade in moist, well-drained, moderately fertile soil; fully hardy and easy to maintain, though its shallow rhizomes may be contained if space is limited.
