Product Details

Product Details

Dependable Euphorbia polychroma 'Bonfire' creates a dramatic contrast of flowers and foliage in early spring. ‘Bonfire’ emerges as a rounded, green mound that rapidly turns a rich, maroon red. It’s the perfect background for its own buttery blooms and is especially fetching with blue-flowered spring bulbs. PP 18,585

Cultivated members of the genus Euphorbia are grown for their colorful bracts, which are leaves surrounding the insignificant true flowers, and these bracts are as showy as any bloom. Poinsettias are Euphorbias; it’s hard to pack more wallop than that. The perennial varieties generally offer attractive foliage as well. Their milky sap causes skin irritation in some people; wear gloves when planting or deadheading.

HOW PLANTS ARE SHIPPED

The size of the plants we ship has been selected to reduce the shock of transplanting. For some, this means a large, bareroot crown. Others cannot travel bareroot or transplant best if grown in containers. We ship these perennials and annuals in 1 pint pots, except as noted. We must point out that many perennials will not bloom the first year after planting, but will the following year, amply rewarding your patience. We ship bulbs as dormant, bare bulbs, sometimes with some wood shavings or moss. Shrubs, Roses, vines, and other woody plants may be shipped bareroot or in pots. The size of the pot is noted in the quick facts for each item.

WHEN WE SHIP

We ship our bulbs and plants at the right time for planting in your area, except as noted, with orders dispatched on a first-come, first-served basis by climate zone. We also ship a wide range of containers and planters, tools, supplies, fertilizers, garden wear, garden decor items, as well as indoor decorations like wreaths and dried bouquets when available. Estimated dates for shipping are indicated in the green Shipping Details box for each item. Please supply a street address for delivery. Kindly contact us with two weeks notice, if you'll be away at the expected time of delivery.

OUR GUARANTEE

We guarantee to ship plants that are in prime condition for growing. If your order is damaged or fails to meet your expectations, we will cheerfully replace or refund it. Please contact our Customer Service Department at 1-800-503-9624 or email us at [email protected]. Please include your order number or customer number when contacting us.

Bonfire spurge

I actually bought this a few years from WFF and have enjoyed it since!
This is the first spurge that I have had in my garden and I get so many compliments about it! The colors change with the seasons starting out green, changing to yellow, orange and a magnificent red. It looks great in the garden and compliments whatever is blooming by it : daffs in the spring, Irises in late spring, lilies in the summer.
I highly recommend this plant.

Plant in full sun and average, well-drained soil. Fertilize lightly with 5-10-5 in early spring. Handle Euphorbia plants with care; the milky sap has been known to cause rashes in some people.
