Euphorbia x martini 'Ascot Rainbow' 1 Litre
Euphorbia × martini 'Ascot Rainbow' is a colourful perennial plant that is valued for its striking foliage. It is a hybrid cultivar that was created by crossing Euphorbia characias and Euphorbia amygdaloides. The plant typically grows to a height of about 60cm, and spreads to about 50cm. It has a compact habit, and its leaves are arranged in whorls around the stem. The foliage is a combination of green, cream, and pink, which gives it a rainbow-like appearance. The colours intensify as the plant ages, adding to its ornamental appeal.
In addition to its attractive foliage, 'Ascot Rainbow' produces clusters of small green flowers in spring and early summer. The flowers are not particularly showy, but they are a nice complement to the colourful leaves. This plant is easy to grow and requires minimal care. It prefers well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. It is also tolerant of drought, making it a good choice for low rainfall areas.
It should be handled with care or gloves because it contains a milky sap that can cause skin irritation and is toxic if ingested.
Holds an RHS Award of Garden Merit.
