Its purple foliage, its contrasting flowers, its compact shape are as much an asset in pots or in the garden.
This Euphorbia variety is a mutant of REDWING 'Charam'. It has kept the compact round shape.
BLACKBIRD is remarkable for its very dark purple young foliage, which gets darker in a sunny position. Little by little, the foliage turns bronze green, and sometimes red in winter.
The flowering, which is characteristic to the Euphorbia, lasts from March to May, the bracts turning red, orange, yellow and green on the purple red stems. BALCK BIRD is very floriferous.
Its evergreen foliage, the coulour variations through the year, the attractive contrast it gives due to the numerous flower heads in spring, make BLACK BIRD a choice perennial in beds or in pots.

An alternative to box in oceanic and continental climatesIlex crenata 'Glorie Dwarf' is a dwarf holly with small dark-green leaves and a naturally ball-shaped habit. Responding well to pruning, it can be used as for all boxwoods: in topiary, as borders or for low hedges. Extremely resistant to cold it favours soils that are rich in humus and which remain cool in summer. It is recommended for use in oceanic and continental climates that remain fresh in summer. For drier climates the compact Pittosporum tenuifolium, « Silver Ball » and « Golden Ball » would be more suitable.
