Notes
'Fern Cottage' spurge (Euphorbia griffithii 'Fern Cottage') is a perennial for borders and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, loamy or clay soil. It grows 24 to 36 inches tall and 12 to 24 inches wide, so give it room. It blooms from early to late summer. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with Marsh spurge, Water iris, and Purple Sensation ornamental onion.
