Notes
'Blackbird' spurge (Euphorbia 'Blackbird') is a perennial for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to wet, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. It is evergreen and drought tolerant, so it keeps its form through the year. It grows up to 24 inches tall.
Pairs well with Evergold sedge, Lamb’s ear, and Lenten rose.
