Euphorbia amygdaloides var. robbiae
Mrs Robb's Bonnet (Euphorbia amygdaloides var. robbiae) is a spreading ground cover excellent for dry shade.
Mrs Robb’s Bonnet (Euphorbia amygdaloides var. robbiae) is a lovely, spreading ground cover that tolerates dry shade while displaying emerald to dark green whorled foliage topped with spikes of large lime green bracts and flowers in spring. Cut back flower stems after flowering to encourage rich, thick basal growth. Will do well under cedars where nothing else grows (once established)! Keep an eye on it in more favourable conditions as the clump can grow quickly!
