Euphorbia polychroma

 

Cushion spurge grows into a one foot by one foot mound of green foliage that is topped in spring by some of the brightest electric green floral bracts of any euphorbia. E. polychroma is one of the hardier spurges bringing this genus within the reach of zone 5 gardeners. Photo courtesy of Walters Gardens.
