Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Low growing selection thought to be a sport of Euphorbia x martinii, 'Red Martin' remains a standout from fall through spring when many other perennials are merely storing their reserves. Plants grow to 24" and bear yellow-green flowers marked with a dark central eye. The reddish-purple foliage is truest in full sun. Hardy to 10 °F.
