Euphorbia griffithii

Euphorbia griffithii types are always popular with their showy flowers in spring, red foliage through the summer and golden autumn colour. Although they are all similar, there are differences in nursery performance and garden worthiness. E.g. ‘King’s Caple’ (named after the village where it comes from) is taller and bushier than the standard ‘Fireglow’, and the flower heads are larger, better coloured and earlier. E.g. ‘Wickstead’ has darker foliage (like ‘Dixter’ which will we grow again one day, if we can find clean stock) so the contrast between the flowers and foliage is very striking.
