Euphorbia Blackbird

Euphorbia Blackbird is a classic cool burgundy spurge for containers or the garden.

Blackbird is the best thing to happen to euphorbias for some time: exceptionally dark, velvety purple foliage, bright red stems, and flower heads with dark purple bracts and contrasting yellow flowers. This new Euphorbia is spectacular! Compact, bushy and useful for year-round colour in borders and containers. Darkest foliage tones in full sun. Cultivar name: ‘Nothowlee’.
