Product description
Euphorbia Kolibri, commonly known as Martin's Spurge, is an evergreen sub-shrub with eye-catching features throughout. It has dark green foliage that maintains year-round interest, and is a great contrast for the bright green flowers with fiery red centres that joins it in Spring and Summer. It has a compact, upright habit and will grow to an ultimate height and spread of 0.3m over the course of 5 years. It is the ideal plant for pots, plant displays and more.
You should care for this Euphorbia by planting it in a spot where it can be exposed to sun, with some shelter also present. The soil should be light, well-drained and kept watered whenever the soil beneath is dry to touch. You can also cut any spent flower shoots back to ground level in late Summer or Autumn so the plant is ready to bloom once more in the following Spring.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Water Euphorbia moderately, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. They are drought-tolerant but benefit from consistent moisture during dry spells. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
How to Plant
Plant Euphorbia in well-draining soil in a sunny location. Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball, place the plant, and fill with soil. Water thoroughly after planting and space them properly to allow air circulation.
