Euphorbia x martinii 'Ascot Rainbow'

Plant Type: Perennial

An outstanding, fun multiseasonal perennial with a rainbow of colors on its palette.  Both flowers(showy bracts) and foliage are variegated and highly ornamental. Foliage is a striking combination of green edged in creamy yellow that blushes pink and orange in cool weather. Late spring brings clusters of lime and cream showy bracts (resembling flowers) that are centered with a red eye, at the ends of leaf stems. Autumn adds another depth of vibrancy and intrigue with heightened flushes of red, pink and orange. The combination of colors and shape of foliage versus flower bracts adds a striking and quite intriguing architectural element to the garden.
