Wood Spurge - Mrs Robb's Bonnet

Euphorbia amygdaloides 'Robbiae' is a tough, evergreen groundcover that thrives in dry shade—making it invaluable in tricky garden spots. It forms spreading mats of glossy, dark green, lance-shaped foliage and produces bold, lime-green flower bracts in spring, which contrast beautifully with its leaves.

This variety is particularly suited to woodland settings, beneath trees or in shaded borders. It spreads by underground runners and suppresses weeds effectively. Low-maintenance and drought-tolerant once established, ‘Robbiae’ brings year-round structure and spring colour to shaded areas. Caution: sap may cause skin irritation.
