Description

Imagine your garden adorned with the striking variegated foliage of Euphorbia 'Ascot Rainbow' - a perennial that brings a burst of year-round colour and texture to any planting scheme.

The golden-green leaves, edged in creamy white, take on a pink to red blush in colder months, ensuring your outdoor space stays lively even through winter. From late spring into early summer, clusters of lime-green flowers add an extra layer of vibrancy, complementing the elegant foliage.

This RHS Award of Garden Merit winner is a gardener’s dream. Its compact size makes it ideal for containers, borders, or sunny beds. Plus, it's recommended as an RHS 'Plant for Pollinators'.

Its low-maintenance nature and drought resistance ensure it thrives without demanding too much of your time - perfect for those with busy schedules or little gardening experience. Not only does it bring beauty, but it also supports local wildlife, attracting bees and other pollinators throughout the season.

Whether you’re looking to brighten a patio, add structure to borders, or create an eye-catching focal point, Euphorbia 'Ascot Rainbow' is a versatile and reliable choice.

Supplied as an established plant in a 9cm pot, ready to plant.

Top Tips
  • Once established, Euphorbia ‘Ascot Rainbow’ is drought-resistant and requires minimal watering. Water only during prolonged dry spells, and avoid overwatering.
  • Care Information

    How To Plant:

    • Loosen the soil in your chosen area and mix in organic matter such as compost or well-rotted manure for added nutrients.
    • Make a hole twice the width of the plant's root ball and just as deep.
    • Carefully remove the Euphorbia ‘Ascot Rainbow’ from its pot. Place it in the hole with the top of the root ball level with the soil surface.
    • Space plants approximately 45-60cm apart to allow for their mature size and airflow.
    • Fill the hole with soil, firming it gently around the base of the plant to remove air pockets. Avoid covering the crown of the plant.
    • After planting, water thoroughly to help the plant settle in and establish roots.

    Caring:

    • In spring, apply a balanced, slow-release fertiliser to support healthy growth and vibrant foliage.
    • After flowering, cut back any spent flower stems to maintain the plant’s shape. Always wear gloves when pruning as the sap can irritate the skin.
    • This plant is fully hardy but benefits from mulch around the base in late autumn to protect the roots in very harsh winters.

    Euphorbia sap is toxic if ingested and can cause irritation to the skin and eyes. Always wear gloves and wash your hands thoroughly after handling.

    Delivery Information

    Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

    Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

    We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

    Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

    Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

    Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
