Living up to expectations
These plants arrived, as usual, well packaged and very healthy. They have grown well over the summer. I am never disappointed with plants from Crocus.

As I live in SW Scotland, I have to plant tough, very hardy flowers. This Euphorbia has good red/purple stems and seems very hardy - has withstood a very long winter (planted last Autumn) - and now appears to be healthy in spite of so many frosts, some severe (like the present minus 5 C.) We have had plenty of snow this winter and gale force winds. Now that April is here I anticipate growth so that I can spred the plant. I have enjoyed the long 'flowering' season of this family but never used this species before. It suits my requirement for low-growing tough plants.

Hello, This is indeed a tricky spot as very little can cope with the dry, shady conditions beneath a yew tree. The best will be the hardiest, but even these will need to be kept really well fed and watered if they are going to survive. With this in mind, I would recommend the following.

Hardy euphorbias, commonly known as spurges, make ideal plants for any gardener who rates themself as ‘keen but clueless’, yet a little bit adventurous. First and foremost they are excellent garden plants that can be used in the border and in containers,
