    The deep-maroon (almost black in sun!) foliage of this 20-24" evergreen mounder is lovely in winter containers, as a background for spring bulbs AND with its March-May lime-green flowers. S/M-D/GDr PPAF

    Zn 6. Yellow bracts. Deep purple foliage.

    Blackbird is the best thing to happen to euphorbias for some time: exceptionally dark, velvety purple foliage, bright red stems, and flower heads with dark purple bracts and contrasting yellow flowers. This new Euphorbia is spectacular! Compact, bushy and useful for year-round colour in borders and containers. Darkest foliage tones in full sun.

    Euphorbia 'Blackbird' with it's dark purple tinted foliage, sets off brighter hues nearby. We have this in a bed with gravelly soil close to our house, and it has wintered over beautifully for the past 2 years. Flowering bracts will form on the previous season's growth, providing bright yellow green contrast to the dark purple leaves. Plants grow 18" tall and wide. Also a really good choice for containers as it looks great all season long!

    New red foliage turns purple black as it matures. This sets the stage for a dynamic contrast between the foliage and the yellow green spring flowers. 18" tall and wide.
