Euphorbia 'Ascot Rainbow' Plants

Euphorbia 'Ascot Rainbow' is a texturally and colorfully appealing perennial for the mid-border or stand-alone plantings.  Offering multi-seasonal interest this perennial has grey-green leaves with yellow margins that turn rosy to orange shades in cooler weather and erupt in late spring with cream and lime-colored flowers that have brilliant green bracts.  Foliage stays color fast throughout the summer and fall.  This plant is evergreen in mild climates and typically dies back in December/January in colder climates.  Trim back plants in early spring for best flush of blooms.  Wear gloves when trimming these plants as the sap can be an irritant.  They are poisonous if ingested so keep away from pets.  This plant grows best in partial shade in warmer regions of the hardiness rating.
