First Blush cushion spurge

Notes

'First Blush' cushion spurge (Euphorbia epithymoides 'First Blush') is a perennial. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry soil. Its white and green leaves blush pink in spring and fall. The golden yellow bracts show in early to late spring and fade to cream, and the plant goes fully dormant in fall. It sits low on the menu for rabbits.

Pairs well with Six Hills Giant nepeta, Ornamental onion, and Eastern gamagrass.
