Euphorbia griffithii 'Fireglow'
Bushy perennial with creeping rhizomatous stems. Tall stems clothed in long mid-green leaves with red midribs emerge in spring. Early summer these are topped by small yellow flowers surrounded by brilliant hot orange-scarlet bracts. Very colourful and interesting. Hardy to cold, prefers a sunny site. Will grow in most soils, though does thrive in moist conditions. Will spread if conditions ideal.
