Euphorbia Oblongata | Approx 45 Seeds

A yellow flowering spurge plant seed packet. Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: light, well-drained Rate of growth: average to fast Hardiness: fully hardy (but often short-lived) The sulphur yellow flowers of Euphorbia oblongata appear over an incredibly long period, offering a continued fresh blast of colour to sunny borders. The flowers are also excellent for cutting, and look wonderful when teamed with rich purples, plum and orange. Often grown as an annual, it is one of the best gap-fillers for a border (or as a mixer in a pot), and is an easy, undemanding and rewarding little gem! Growing instructions: Can be sown in situ into a well-prepared bed and thinned out – or better still, onto a good quality peat-free compost. Cover the seeds with a fine layer of compost in an unheated greenhouse and wait for natural germination before pricking out, potting on and planting into position. Cut back the faded flower stems in autumn. Treat as a hardy annual for best results and remove at the end of the year to the compost bin. When working with spurges, always wear rubber gloves as the milky sap is poisonous and a potential skin irritant. Sow: February to March (under glass) or April to May (direct) Flowering: May to November
