Notes
'Ascot Rainbow' martin's spurge (Euphorbia martini 'Ascot Rainbow') is a perennial for borders, rock gardens, containers, and ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It is drought tolerant and stays evergreen, so it adds gray and green color all year. It grows 12 to 24 inches tall and spreads at a moderate pace. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits.
Pairs well with Evergold sedge, Lamb’s ear, and Lenten rose.
