Plant Care

Ascot Rainbow Spurge is remarkably low-maintenance and drought-tolerant once established. Remove spent flower stems to maintain appearance and prevent self-seeding. Wear gloves when handling as the milky sap can cause skin irritation. Prune back old foliage in late winter before new growth emerges. This plant shows excellent deer and rabbit resistance.

Planting Instructions

Plant in spring or fall, spacing plants 18-24 inches apart. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and at the same depth. Position the plant at the same level it was growing in the container. Backfill with soil, water thoroughly, and apply a light layer of mulch around the base, keeping it away from the crown. Avoid overwatering, especially in winter, as the plant prefers drier conditions.
