Description
This hardy perennial thrives in Massachusetts gardens, offering striking variegated foliage that shifts from blue-green with yellow margins to a rich crimson in cooler months. Ascot Rainbow Variegated Spurge is highly drought-tolerant and thrives in full sun to partial shade, making it a low-maintenance addition to any landscape. Clusters of red flowers with chartreuse bracts bloom in early spring, adding vibrant color to rock gardens, borders, and container plantings. With its mounded growth habit, it provides year-round interest and blends well with other perennials.
Growing up to 15 inches tall and spreading 15 inches wide, Ascot Rainbow Variegated Spurge maintains dense foliage right to the ground. This evergreen perennial is ideal for xeriscaping, as it adapts to dry and moist conditions but does not tolerate standing water. Highly resistant to deer and urban pollution, it thrives in sandy soils and requires minimal upkeep. Prune in late fall to maintain its shape, and exercise caution as parts of this plant are toxic to humans and animals.
