Euphorbia
Milkwort
Named after Euphorbus, physician to the king of Mauritania, this robust, sun-loving genus includes the familiar Poinsettia and is over 1600 species strong. Most Euphorbia have a poisonous milky sap and soft-colored bracts that surround subtly defined flowers. Autumn watches many of their narrow green leaves turn shades of red, orange and yellow.

A well-loved garden mainstay since the late 1800s, this naturally occurring evergreen hybrid between Euphorbia amygdaloides and Euphorbia characias was discovered in France. Stiff upright stems plus narrow lance-shaped ash-green leaves define the dapper compact mound that bolsters voluminous dense terminal cymes with burgundy-centered lime-yellow bracts. Equally at ease in traditional borders or more modern venues, Euphorbia x martini′s hardy subshrub-like habit toughs coastal sites, dry conditions, lean soil and deer, while its zingy long-lasting flowers, purple-tinged new growth and red-stained winter-time stalks afford vivacious multiseason allure.
