Euphorbia griffithii 'Fireglow' is a dramatic plant, bearing attractive dark green foliage, each leaf with a reddish midrib, which contrasts beautifully with its bright fiery brick red flowers. Tall and bushy, it's well suited to growing in hot planting schemes and dry sunny borders, and combines well with yellow flowers and gold variegated foliage.

Grow Euphorbia griffithii 'Fireglow' in moist but well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. Divide congested clumps in spring.

When working with euphorbias always wear gloves – the milky sap is a skin irritant.
