Description

Enjoy year-round interest with the rich and dark purple leaves of this hardy Euphorbia. Being extremely drought tolerant, it's easy to understand why this purple beauty is known as one of the easiest perennials to grow.

Hardy to stand firm in freezing temperatures as low as -15C, 'Miner's Merlot' is a vigorous grower that is also ideal for attracting pollinators to the garden. The tips of the stems are even capped with green-to-yellow flowers to mark early summer days.

Eye-catching colours and strong stems make it the perfect choice for borders, planters, or containers and can even be used as an accompaniment to cut flowers! 'Miner's Merlot' is great in patio pots, but also looks magnificent in rockeries or simply used as ground cover.

Boasting changing foliage colour, from reddish purple when young to near-black when temperatures plummet in autumn, resulting in some striking colour combinations.

Supplied as an established plant in a 9cm pot, ready for planting.

Top Tips
  • No special care is required - this really is the perfect option for the most casual of gardeners! Cut back by a third after flowering to prevent seeding. Damaged stems can be cut off in spring.
Care Information
  • For best results, position in a sunny spot of moist, well-drained soil.
  • When planting multiple varieties, be sure to space each 45cm apart.
  • Cut back the faded flower stems when they start to die back.
  • When working with spurges, always wear gloves as the milky sap is poisonous and a potential skin irritant.
  • Remove unwanted seedlings each spring as part of routine border maintenance.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
