Euphorbia Miner's Merlot, 2/3L
Ideal for adding some drama to the border, Euphorbia Miner’s Merlot is a clump forming perennial with narrow green leaves which take on a purple hue when young. In late spring, lime green flowers emerge at the tips. As the season extends, the leaves retain some red colouring, but it is in autumn that the colour is most intense, with foliage deepening to near black.
