A low growing perennial that grows quickly, with fine needle-like foliage which begins plum purple in spring, fading to grey green in summer, finally turning golden orange in autumn.

At the end of spring, masses of lime green flower bracts emerge. Euphorbia 'Fens Ruby' is an excellent addition to your mixed border or rockeries, and it can also be grown in containers. It grows well in well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. In colder climates, the foliage dies back to the ground in the winter.

Cut back hard after flowering to retain shape. Tolerant of dry conditions. Use gloves to cut back as the milk of the plant can irritate skin.
