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
Prefers a full sun to part shade position with well-drained soil. It is drought-tolerant once established and prefers a sheltered spot with protection from strong winds and afternoon sun in hotter climates. Wear gloves when handling, as the milky sap can be irritating to skin and eyes. Prune spent flower stems back after blooming to maintain a tidy shape and encourage fresh growth.
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.
