Neutral Baa On Oct 10, 2001, Baa wrote:

Herbaceous spreading perennial from South West China and Tibet.

Has linear, dark green leaves with a pale conspicuous midrib. Bears bright reddish involucres (cup around individual flower) containing tiny yellow flowerparts (cyathia).

Flowers June-August

Like all Euphorbias, the sap can be an irritant to skin so be careful when handling.

Likes a moist, well drained, rich soil in partial shade where it will spread around happily. Nice plant for a large border.
