  • Spurge-osis

    I planted a number of tiny Euporbias a year or so ago.

    They've gone mad and now I am faced with Purge-osis

    Too much acid green euphorbic stuff in one place, so I'm trying to identify them and find them new homes.

    At the front and left of the pic are small to medium (30cm) spurges that have fine, ferny foliage turning coppery in autumn then die back completely leaving millions of seeds that could probably grow even on Mars But they're easy enough to pull up.

    In the middle there is a stumpy spurge (possibly cos it's been bullied by the bigger one) that I think is 'Polychroma' ?

    It's the big one I need to ID really. In flower now (just taken the pic) Reddy leaves, evergreen, cut back after flowering, about 3 foot high ???

    Any Spurgeologists on the vine ?

    Euphorbiphiles perhaps ?

    Thanks

        Although not yet in receipt of my PHD in Spurgeophilia, I do have a BTEC in 'Guessing'...

        The middle one does look like polychroma.
        The big one I'd guess at Euphorbia amygdaloides 'Purpurea'?
        The other one... Euphorbia cyparissias? Does it look like this:
