Euphorbia Miners Merlot

Euphorbia Miners Merlot (Euphorbia martinii Miners Merlot) is a compact, evergreen spurge forming neat mounds around 3045cm tall and wide. In spring it produces showy yellowgreen flower bracts that brighten mixed borders and containers. Grow in full sun or light shade in welldrained, moderately fertile soil; once established it copes well with dry summer spells. After flowering, cut back spent stems to the base. Take care when handling, as the milky sap can irritate skin and eyes; wear gloves.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.

Position: Full sun or light shade
