Description
Of the many Spurge now available to gardeners, this is one of the easiest and most reliable, particularly in colder climate areas. Plants form a bushy, upright mound of dark green leaves with the appearance of a small shrub. Heads of fiery orange bracts begin to appear in early summer, and continue for many weeks. New growth in early spring is rich bronzy-red in colour. Clumps take a few years to settle in and develop to mature size. Easily divided in early spring, every 4 to 5 years.
