Want to add red tones to the year-round garden? Consider using 'Miner's Merlot' euphorbia, with wine-red spring growth that deepens to an olive green in the summer, then darkens when the temperatures drop in the fall. Springtime brings out chartreuse flowers/bracts, attracting hummingbirds and bees.'Miner's Merlot' has a lower profile, growing up to 18 to 24 inches tall and wide. Lovely in fall/winter baskets and container planters, this spurge will also add color and texture to sunny borders. Wear gloves when pruning back the spent flower stems as the sap may be irritating to the skin. Chewing pets should be kept away from all euphorbias to safeguard their health.
