Euphorbia amygdaloides 'Ruby Glow'
A compact, mounding perennial prized for its striking deep burgundy to ruby-red foliage, especially vivid in cooler months. In spring, it produces contrasting lime-green to yellow-green flower bracts held above the dark leaves, adding bold seasonal colour.
Cultural

Soil:
Tolerates any well-drained soil, suitable for poor soil.
Aspect:
Full sun to part shade.
Maintenance:
After flowering, cut spent flower stems right to the base to maintain appearance and encourage new growth. Apply a slow-release fertiliser in spring to promote healthy growth.
Water Requirements:
Drought tolerant once established but will benefit from supplementary watering. Will not tolerate waterlogged soil.
Seasonal Interest:
Late spring to summer flowering, year round foliage interest.
Landscape Uses
Ideal for borders, underplanting trees, and container planting, ‘Ruby Glow‘ adds bold foliage colour that provides year-round interest. Its compact form also makes it a great choice for edging pathways or creating low-maintenance planting schemes. It pairs well with ornamental grasses, flowering perennials, and works beautifully in modern, woodland, or Mediterranean-style gardens.
