Euphorbia x martini 'Waleuphrud'(RUDOLPH) PP17257
Martin's Spurge, Rudolph Spurge
Martin’s Spurge is a hybrid between the European native Euphorbia amygdaloides and the Mediterranean Euphorbia characias. The cultivar Rudolf is a compact, tender, evergreen spurge with a clumping, upright habit and lance-shaped leaves with the pointed ends attached to the plant. The leaves are green with red undertones as are the plant stems. Winter through summer, red bracts (modified leaves), reminiscent of a red “nose” top the stems and give way to flowers with circular bracts of apple to lime green surrounding small red to brown star-like nectar glands.
Martin’s Spurge is a tough plant. It grows well in just about any soil as long as it is well-drained. Full sun is preferred, but will take some shade. It is beautiful in containers which are best in colder zones, but spreads to form tidy mounds in beds, boarders and as edging in warmer locations. Martin’s Spurge is drought, deer and rabbit resistant. Use in masses in the garden and cut a few of the unusual flowers heads for interesting arrangements.
