EUPHORBIA griffithii ‘Dixter’ $14.95 30” x 36” z 5 Copper tinted, green foliage and dusky orange flower bracts in late spring persist for a goodly long time. Ours is inter-planted with a large, deep purple allium, and the effect is stunning. The euphorbia continues long after the allium has faded. It’s also one of the best foliage shows in the autumn garden. A tall euphorbia, which fares well with neglect. Give it room to spread - it’s worth it. Grow in sun. Very drought tolerant.

Radiant yellow flower bracts surround rosy flower buds. Forms a lovely, mounded clump which shines from early spring to late fall. Easy to grow in sun to part shade. Drought tolerant. This plant reminds me of one of those girls we knew in high school who always managed to look spectacular in gym or Latin class, in rain or scorching dry weather. It never has an unsightly moment.

Sulphur-yellow flower bracts glow above blue-green foliage. Shrubby form. In fall, the leaves turn deep red, rivaling its late spring flowering form for beauty. Beautiful in every season. One of the easiest of all perennials - plant in lots of sun and let it grow. Very drought tolerant. (2-gal) Photo courtesy Walters Gardens, Inc www.wild-things.ca 31 1-877-538-3228
