Euphorbia ‘Ascot Rainbow’

Description

Common name: Spurge 

 The unique variegated foliage of ‘Ascot Rainbow’ is phenomenal and looks fantastic the garden from spring through fall.  Narrow, grey-green leaves have a striking yellow edge. The foliage is topped by clusters of variegated cream, lime, and green flowers (bracts) in spring.  In the cooler months, the foliage at the ends of the stems becomes flushed with shades of red, pink, and orange.  In our location near Lake Michigan where summer temperatures are a bit cooler, a bit of the pink coloring remained all summer long.  We did not observe any reversion in our trials.  Overwinters well in zone 5b with excellent drainage.

 As an added bonus, it is highly heat and drought tolerant.
