| Author's Notes | I have grown this for a few years and it is colorful at all times of the year. I like how it has different seasons of interest. I plunked in a Heuchera in the middle of my three "First Blush". This planted needed extra water since they were just planted. The extra water rotted out the Euphorbia. I learned a lesson. |
