Coloured-leaf spurges are perennials whose leaves display shades of purple, bronze, burgundy, bluish or fiery red. Evergreen or deciduous, compact or shrubby, they bring volume and colour to borders, rockeries and banks. In spring, their chartreuse-green flowering contrasts vividly with the foliage.
Euphorbia amygdaloides ‘Purpurea’ forms a clump of deep purple evergreen leaves, decorative at the edge of woodland and in lightly shaded borders. Lower growing, Euphorbia polychroma ‘Bonfire’ displays purple-bronze to burgundy foliage, topped in spring with orange-yellow bracts. The cypress spurge ‘Fens Ruby’ spreads as a carpet of fine leaves, purple in spring then orange-red in autumn; its suckering habit is useful for covering banks and areas where it can spread. Upright and bushy, Euphorbia characias 'Miners Merlot’ offers reddish stems and dark foliage.
