Euphorbia Miner's Merlot 3L

Euphorbia ‘Miner’s Merlot’ is a clump-forming spurge valued for its neat, evergreen foliage and long-lasting spring bracts that bring structure and contrast to mixed borders and containers. It grows reliably in Irish gardens in full sun to light shade on well-drained, moderately fertile soil. Deadhead spent flowering stems to the base after they fade to keep plants tidy, and avoid waterlogged conditions, especially in winter. Like all euphorbias, the milky sap can be an irritant—wear gloves when pruning or handling.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
