'Fens Ruby' cypress spurge (Euphorbia cyparissias 'Fens Ruby') is a perennial for borders and ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to moist soil of most types. It grows fast into a dense mound that reaches 12 to 24 inches tall. Bees visit it, and it tolerates drought. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal.
