Euphorbia robbiae, commonly known as Mrs Robb's Bonnet or Wood Spurge, is a tough, reliable evergreen perennial that excels as a shade-loving ground cover. This set of three plants, supplied in 9cm pots, is an excellent choice for bringing year-round structure and colour to difficult shaded spots in the garden.With its deep green, rosette-forming foliage, Euphorbia robbiae spreads steadily to form a dense, weed-suppressing carpet beneath trees and along shaded borders. Bright yellow-green flower bracts emerge in spring, adding a welcome lift of colour at a time when many shade plants are yet to perform.Plant Growing ConditionsEuphorbia robbiae is a fully hardy, evergreen perennial that thrives in partial to full shade, making it one of the most dependable ground cover plants for shaded areas of the UK garden. Once established, it is notably drought tolerant — ideal for dry, shaded spots beneath trees where little else will grow. It spreads steadily by underground rhizomes to form a dense, weed-suppressing carpet of deep green foliage. Fully hardy across the UK and resistant to both deer and rabbits, it is one of the most low-maintenance and pest-resistant plants available for outdoor borders and woodland settings.Cultural Information Botanical Name: Euphorbia robbiae Common Names: Mrs Robb's Bonnet, Wood Spurge Classification: Hardy Evergreen Perennial Fully Grown Height & Spread: 60–90 cm × 60–90 cm (spreads gradually by rhizomes) Growth Habit: Spreading, Rhizomatous Evergreen Ground Cover Perfect for: Shaded Borders, Woodland Gardens, Dry Shade Planting, Weed Suppression, Containers & Patio Pots, Rockery Planting Flowering Time: Spring (March to May — bright yellow-green bracts) Planting Position: Partial to Full Shade Soil: Well-drained to moderately fertile soil; tolerates poor, dry conditions once established Type: Hardy Evergreen Perennial Foliage: Deep Green, Leathery, Rosette-Forming Leaves — retained year-round Attracts: Early Spring Pollinators including Bees Resistance: Deer Resistant, Rabbit Resistant, Drought Tolerant (once established) What's Included 3 x Euphorbia robbiae plants supplied in 9cm pots Ready to plant straight into the garden or into a larger container Please Note: Euphorbia plants produce a milky white sap that can cause irritation to skin and eyes.
