Add item to quote to see pricing

Euphorbia polychroma is a striking perennial, often referred to as Cushion Spurge, that stands resiliently in a wide range of landscapes. This expertly crafted marvel, flourishing up to 1. 5 feet tall and wide, takes center stage with its radiant yellow-green flowers that bloom in abundance amid a stunning mound of light-green foliage. Emerging in the late spring, these blooms transform your garden into a vibrant canvas that captivates the eye from mid-spring through early summer. Favoring full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil, the Cushion Spurge is tolerant of moderate drought conditions. As the days become shorter, the lush greenery takes a dramatic twist, turning a fiery red in the autumn for an encore presentation of color. A welcome guest in any garden due to its low maintenance and high disease resistance, this is a hardy perennial that endures in USDA zones 4 through 8. Equally engaging, Cushion Spurge is a gift to pollinators, attracting them with its vivid blooms, but shows remarkable resistance to deer and rabbits, enhancing its overall appeal.
