From Notcutts Nursery in the UK comes a stunning sport of its popular and easy-to-grow Euphorbia 'Charam' (Redwing). The black-purple foliage of Blackbird spurge adorns the compact stems, forming a tight 18" tall x 1' wide evergreen specimen. The deer-resistant foliage is topped, starting in early spring, with large compact heads of bright yellow flowers held just above the foliage by the bright red stems. This is a real WOW plant for a sunny, well-drained spot in the garden! Euphorbia 'Nothowlee' was a 2004 Gold Medal winner at Holland's prestigious Plantarium Expo. We'll also award them the 2004 bad cultivar name award!
