Euphorbia x martinii ‘Rudolph’

 

This cultivar was selected for its bright red bracts during winter — reminiscent of Rudolph’s nose which makes it an interesting ornamental in the border or container during the colder months. The red bracts are followed in spring by yellow green flowers with a red centre. E. x martinii is a naturally-occurring hybrid from southern France between E. characias and E. amygdaloides, two very garden-worthy species.
