Euphorbia
'Ascot Petite'
dwarf spurge
Euphorbia 'Ascot Petite' is a dwarf spurge with a sharp eye for detail, bringing colour, texture and neat structure to modern borders, gravel gardens and containers. Its narrow, slender leaves are a crisp grey-green, sometimes leaning towards blue or sage, and they sit beautifully against striking deep purple stems. In spring, Euphorbia 'Ascot Petite' produces vivid blooms that lift the whole plant with a fresh, glowing brightness, just when the garden is waking up and looking for a little encouragement. Compact but full of presence, Euphorbia 'Ascot Petite' is ideal for edging paths, dotting through mixed planting, or adding a clean architectural note to smaller spaces.
As the seasons turn, Euphorbia 'Ascot Petite' continues to earn its place, with foliage tips flushing reddish-pink to bronze in cooler autumn and winter weather. This multi-season interest makes it far more than a spring performer, while its extreme low-maintenance nature suits gardeners who admire polish but have no desire to fuss. Plant Euphorbia 'Ascot Petite' in well-drained soil in sun to partial shade, where its colouring and compact habit will show to best effect. Handsome, resilient and quietly contemporary, Euphorbia 'Ascot Petite' brings year-round style with the sort of effortless confidence that makes neighbouring plants look slightly over-dressed.

Plant profile
Plant calendar
Check each plant’s specifications. Hardy perennials can remain outdoors, while half-hardy and tender varieties should be kept frost-free until the risk of frost has passed.
Plant within a month, preferably sooner. Choose a suitable position, remove weeds and loosen the soil thoroughly, adding compost or well-rotted organic matter where needed.
Gently remove the plant from its pot and plant with the root ball level with the soil surface. Firm gently, water well and add a plant label.
Water regularly until established and whenever the soil feels dry during spring and summer. Feed container-grown plants fortnightly during active growth to encourage healthy flowering.
