Euphorbia oblongata - 10 seedlings Price £ 7.95

Euphorbia oblongata - 10 seedlings - Euphorbia oblongata is the all round best-looking, longest-flowering foliage plant you can find anywhere in the world. Use it to line your paths in your cutting patch.
This is my number one cut flower foliage plant, which forms the base of 80% of my mixed arrangements.
If I was only allowed to take one group of ornamental plants to a desert island I would probably take these.
You never tire of their brilliant acid-green flowers and bold, strong shapes, they’re excellent for arranging (if you pick with gloves on and sear the stem ends in boiling water) and are the perfect foliage foil to any flowery border. They are an absolute essential group
of plants for my garden.
