Plant of the Moment – No. 3 Euphorbia x martinii

The spent 'flower' heads of this fairly compact, evergreen spurge are flushed with an eye-popping cerise that seems to have become more vivid by the day during the recent hot, dry spell. Strong new shoots emerging from the base will make ideal cuttings, though time is running on... This particular plant comes with a free Harvestman – a seasonal feature round these parts, both outdoors and in.
