The soft purple rounded foliage from the evergreen Euphorbia amygdaloides Purpurea makes it a good choice for a backdrop to other shady plants in a woodland garden or winter container, offering colour and texture. Wood spurge Purpurea is valued by landscapers for its ability to tolerate most sites and soils, including dry shade. This is a plant that will easily colonise poor soils in shady spots offering a weed smothering carpet all year round. An attractive pollinator plant to bees and butterflies in Spring and Summer. Be careful to plant away from livestock as it is toxic.
