Reviews

The Ascot Rainbow euphorbias arrived in excellent condition this spring. They are growing very well, and their foliage is really stunning! The one I had last year overwintered successfully in my zone 6a garden. Can't wait til they get more mature in size.

I have had several for going on the 3rd spring. I love the colors I want more to cover a greater area. They surprise me every spring. Looking to buy more. We live in the mountains about 3400 elevation.
