Euphorbia x martinii 'Cherokee' (Cherokee Spurge)

Sun to Part SunZone: 6-8a, at least 15" tall Origin: Hybrid

Open House/Web-Only! New crop available 9-9-2010 After 6 years of trials, this little-known but very easy-to-grow selection of Euphorbia x martinii (Euphorbia characias x amygdaloides) has proven to be one of the best euphorbias we have ever grown. Honestly, I don't see any sign of Euphorbia characias in its background. Looking superficially like the wimpy, mildew-prone Euphorbia 'Chameleon', Euphorbia 'Cherokee' makes a vigorous, deer-resistant, 15" tall x 15" wide clump of dark purple stems adorned with dark purple leaves. In hot weather, the older leaves change to purple-green with only the new growth being dark purple. In early spring, the clumps are topped with flower clusters of dark purple. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
