Growing & Maintenance Tips for Euphorbia martinii 'Ascot Rainbow'

Grows best in an average to dry, well-drained soil, in full sun to partial shade. In deep shade, foliage may take on a stretched appearance. Remove spent flower stems near the base in midsummer to rejuvenate growth.  Caution: wear gloves while pruning this plant. The milky sap may severely irritate the skin and eyes and may cause severe discomfort if ingested. May need winter protection.
