Plant Features

Rudolph Leafy Spurge is a four-season marvel. Yellowy-green long-lived flowers with vivid red centers herald spring's arrival, while in the colder temperatures of fall and winter, the evergreen foliage tips at the top of each stem form an amazing brilliant red rosette, bringing to mind Rudolph's nose. What a fun and truly remarkable perennial Euphorbia!

Rudolf Leafy Spurge Plant

I saw a Rudolph Leafy Spurge plant in a garden in England and had to have it. Since it can be quite expensive and hard to find I was thrilled to see it offered by GrowJoy for a reasonable price. It is a nice little healthy plant that should grow out nicely!
