Euphorbia ‘Jade Dragon’

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.

<i>Euphorbia</i> ‘Jade Dragon’

Evoking images of viridescent dragon scales, pointed blue-green leaves create a compact deer-proof assemblage that’s infused with reddish purple tinges. This tidy-looking robust Milkwort shoulders summer-blooming chartreuse flower heads nearly one foot across. Consorts such as Panicum ‘Shenandoah’ and Eupatorium ‘Gateway’ accentuate its colorful hues.

Blooms July–October

Size: 2' 0" – 2-1/2' high x 3' 0" wide.

Zone 6/7.
