A compact, shade-loving, spreading euphorbia that has long-lasting, lime-green flowers in late spring above rosettes of glossy, dark green leaves.
Euphorbia amygdaloides var. robbiae is decorative yet low-maintenance and is particularly valuable for adding interest to difficult areas of dry shade beneath trees or beside walls and fences. A suckering evergreen, it makes attractive, spreading groundcover in a woodland or naturalised setting, but once established, it can romp through areas of a small garden if left unchecked.

When planting, incorporate compost to improve drainage and fertility, spacing plants 30-45cm (12-18in) apart and watering thoroughly for the first growing season, after which time the plant does become tolerant to dry shade.
This evergreen perennial spreads via underground rhizomes, so allow enough space for it to adequately provide ground cover.
In autumn, cut back the faded flower stems, taking care not to remove the new ones that will produce next year’s blooms. Always wear gloves when handling spurges, as the milky sap is poisonous and can cause skin irritation.
Each spring, remove any unwanted seedlings as part of your regular border maintenance to keep the plant contained and your garden tidy.
