In appearance this looks like Euphorbia amygdaloides var. robbiae, a variety well-known for its rapid ground-covering habit. However, this is a cross between E. characias and that variety but is larger and bluer in foliage, often flushed red in new growth. It is drought tolerant like both of its parents and, once established, can be used successfully to cover difficult sites. Showy spikes of yellow-bracted flowers light up the early spring garden and persist into summer.
