<i>Euphorbia griffithii</i> ‘Fireglow’ | Griffith’s Spurge
DESCRIPTION
Euphorbia griffithii 'Fireglow' is a dazzling perennial prized for its vibrant orange flowers, rich bronze-colored leaves, and beautiful red stems. In late spring to early summer, 'Fireglow' produces clusters of vivid orange flowers that contrast beautifully with the foliage, which matures from bronze to green and then turns bright red in autumn. This versatile plant thrives in full sun to partial shade and is relatively drought-tolerant once established. Ideal for borders, rock gardens, or mixed perennial beds, 'Fireglow' adds warmth and vibrancy to the landscape. Handle with gloves, as its milky sap can be irritating to the skin and eyes.
