My birthday is the Ides of March. So perchance\u00a0you’ll forgive my proclivity to ignore warnings. Have you ever fallen head over heels\u00a0with a plant\u00a0despite other gardeners’ cautions?\u00a0Tis indeed the case with Fen’s Ruby Cypress Spurge. I’ve got it bad for this little guy. But honestly,\u00a0this is no Bishop’s Weed. I have never had anything but gushing admiration. It looks fabulous almost year round, adds lush texture, and it\u00a0provides\u00a0such a great counterpoint to the\u00a0other plants. And in\u00a0the unlikely occasion\u00a0it wears out its welcome, it\u00a0yanks with alacrity. <\/p>\n

\"E.<\/a>

My Sparkling Burgundy Pineapple lilies got washed out looking this year. Have you had that happen? (Maybe fertilizer–which I never do. I just use compost.)<\/p>\n

\"Fen's<\/a>
Closer, Fen’s Ruby Cypress Spurge with Eucomis ‘Sparkling Burgundy’ and Canna musafolia ‘Red’.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

See how nicely it mingles with other plants. No weeds under there.<\/p>\n

\"Fen's<\/a>
Fen’s Ruby Spruge mingles well with everyone.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It’s a regular Norma Rae. Look how it unites its fellow\u00a0plants.<\/p>\n

\"I<\/a>
I thought these were temporary, when starting this bed, but…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And in bloom, it’s a thousand points\u00a0of chartreuse lights.<\/p>\n

\"Euphorbia<\/a>
Euphorbia cyparissias ‘Fen’s Ruby’ in bloom.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And I do declare, I positively need to flutter my fan when\u00a0I set eyes on E. ‘Fen’s Ruby’\u00a0snuggled up against Farfugium friends.<\/p>\n

\"Farfugiums<\/a>
Farfugiums and Disporum, with mini the understory Euphorbia.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

and more<\/p>\n

\"Good,<\/a>
Good, right?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

So there, I’ve said it. I love Euphorbia cyparissisas ‘Fen’s Ruby’. And you might too, if you only gave it a chance.<\/p>\n

Cheers, y’all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
