Like our other selections, these Euphorbia present evergreen foliage and flowers with remarquably acid shaded bracts.
Two new varieties of Euphorbia enrich our range.

'Despina' : Erect foliage in shape of a spatula, green tinted turquoise, even in winter.
Ball shaped. Height 0.30 m to 0.50 m Width: 0.40 m.
Flowers sulfur yellow.

'Efanthia' : Green foliage on the upper side, red underneath, with bright red young shoots in the spring. The leaves take on a beautiful tint in the autumn and don't curl up with the cold. Dense and bushy shape. Height: 0.30 m to 0.50 m Width: 0.40 m to 0.45 m.
Flowers chartreuse green on red stems.

'Despina' and 'Efanthia' are very hardy (- 20° C). They need a well drained soil, tolerate drought and a little lime.
In full sun or half-shade position they will brighten up the edges of beds, rockeries, containers thanks to the varied colouring of their foliage in all seasons and their long very special flowering.
Cut the flowers after wilting for a better ramification and more abundant flowers in the following spring.
