Nursery contributed plant descriptions
The stunning variegated foliage and flowers of Euphorbia x martinii 'Ascot Rainbow' have colours of sage green, gold and lime, tinged reddish pink in cool weather. Grows as a compact, evergreen mound. E. x martinii is a naturally-occurring hybrid from southern France between E. characias and E. amygdaloides, two very garden-worthy species. Deer and rabbit resistant. Drought tolerant.
Wide-ranging variegations of sage green, gold and lime provide bold color to the landscape year round! Spring finds this unique 20" mounder covered in lime-green bracts, variegated foliage is stunning all summer long and when the temperatures cool the tips of the stems become brushed with gorgeous shades of rose. This vigorous grower is very heat/drought tolerant and also performs well in coastal situations. This is a wonderful focal point for any garden! S/M-D/GDr PP21401

Exhibits unique foliage variegated with sage-green, gold and lime. Will tinge a reddish-pink in cool weather. Topped with spikes of cream and green flowers. Spurge needs well-drained soils. It is fairly drought resistant, but should be watered during prolonged dry periods. Outstanding mass planted, as a groundcover or in borders.
Euphorbia 'Ascot Rainbow', introduced by Plant Haven several years ago, is a lovely foliage plant to add year round color in a protected garden spot and is excellent in pots. The elliptical gray green foliage is edged in creamy yellow and takes on a rosy apricot blush when temperatures are cool. Tiny yellow flowers peek from chartreuse colored bracts in spring and occasionally in summer and fall. Plants grow 18" and wide.

Patented. A great new addition to low maintenance, low water use gardens everywhere, variegated 'Ascot Rainbow' has succulent leaves of cream and green that develop rose pink hues as the temperatures fall. Hardy only where a protected spot with good drainage is assured, it refuses to fade or diminish- looking perfect all season long until the freezes of November."

What a lovely plant! Drought tolerant, evergreen, and striking foliage variegation. Don't you just love that yellowy stripe on the edges? Tolerates hot, dry conditions. Does best in light, well-drained soil. Suggestions: This spurge is a great companion plant in a large flower container with showy annuals, such as pansies in the winter or petunias in the summer and, of course, a trailing False Raspberry or Creeping Jenny to spill over. Nice formula for perfect planting! Or simply lovely in your landscaping flower bed.

Beautiful foliage in shades of cream and greenish-blue are accented by cream, lime, and green flowers in late spring. Leaves will also have a reddish pink coloring during colder months. Great choice for containers or a splash of color to add some flair to the garden. Growth Rate fast

Euphorbia x martinii vs. E. amygdaloides 'Ascot Rainbow' has been selected for its distinct and unique variegated flowers and foliage. The flower color consists of cream, lime, and green while the foliage displays tones of cream, green/blue with stunning red-pink coloring throughout cooler months. A bit reminiscent of Daphne Gold dust. It is extremely drought tolerant and I suspect the beautiful Euphorbia sphinx will host on it. ZONE 5'
A very drought tolerant low mounder that has multicolered foliage and copious flowers of cream and lime green. The biggest attribute for gardens in our fair City is that it is unpalatable to the scourge of all things green, the damn deer. A Venison Festival could fund some good civic works.
