Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Euphorbia Robbiae (Wood Spurge) - some spare plants

Let me know if you would like one of these - I have 3 or 4 pots going spare. It is a lovely plant, especially at this time of year - lime green flowers, good in shade and dry areas. But it comes with two caveats:

1) Like all Euphobias it has a milky sap which is an irritant - so not ideal for a garden near kids' play area.

2) It spreads. I've found that a blessing as it is good in areas I struggle with (dry shade for eg) but it is invasive. Very easy to control however, you can just pull out the new plants.

Let me know if I've not put you off! More details about it here:

Thanks all, have just checked and only have 3 plants potted up, so will put one each aside for Jessica, Julie Blue and the person who pm-d yesterday. Martha, if you are keen I'm very happy to pot one up for you when I have a moment.

Thanks Alison, that would be great. I am hoping that it will grow happily in the shade under an apple tree.
