description for "Perennials: Euphorbia polychroma"
Cushion Spurge forms a perfect mound of chrome yellow in spring, turning green and finally mahogany red in autumn. Will take a little shade. The euphorbias are a curious group of hardy perennials. The true flower of euphorbia is very small; the bracts (the leaves that surround the flower) turn brilliant colors in some varieties and are falsely considered by many to be the flower. They prefer an average to poor soil, not too wet and not compacted.
