'Bonfire' Euphorbia is likely to ignite a lifelong interest in this fabulous plant family! Forming a mound of orange, purple, and red foliage in the spring and summer that deepens to red in the fall, 'Bonfire' has one more trick up its sleeve: bright yellow bracts opening like flowers on the stem tips in late spring. Plant to add texture and structure to complement flowers and grasses in drier soils or sloped locations like rock gardens. (Euphorbia polychroma)
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
'Bonfire'
Euphorbia gives gardeners an edge in remembering its Latin name, Euphorbia
polychroma, as this perennial fills the garden with dynamic color. The flowers
are actually flowering bracts, and consequently, last much longer than petals
in the spring garden. The foliage provides a strong presence long after the
bracts have faded. Grow in sharply draining soil to guard against winter
moisture, or position these fascinating plants on a slight slope in a sunny
location to help with drainage. In the spring, resist the temptation to cut
back the older stems, as they will re-foliate and provide a show for the spring
garden. Absolutely stunning paired with spring-blooming Alliums. Use gloves
when pruning, as milky sap can be a skin irritant.
