Euphorbia 'Fireglow': Vivid Orange-Fuchsia Bracts on Red Stems

Euphorbia griffithii 'Fireglow' bears conspicuous bracts in vivid orange-fuchsia in early summer. Red stems and dark green leaves emerge with a reddish tinge in spring.

Important Notes

Foliage goes dormant in summer. Vigorous nature may make it invasive in favorable conditions. Sap irritates skin and causes severe discomfort if ingested. Prefers moist soil in dappled shade.

Propagation & Problems

Start seed when ripe or in spring; divide in early spring. Watch for nematodes, spider mites, aphids, mealybugs, and fungal/bacterial diseases.
