Brighten your landscape with Cushion Spurge (Euphorbia polychroma), a dependable, hardy perennial known for its vibrant spring color and compact, mounded form. This popular garden favorite produces brilliant yellow flower bracts in spring that glow in borders and rock gardens.

As the season progresses, the foliage shifts from fresh green to striking shades of red, orange, and purple in fall—providing multi-season interest from a single plant. Its naturally rounded “cushion” shape makes it ideal for edging walkways, softening retaining walls, filling rock gardens, or mass planting as a colorful ground cover.

Highly adaptable and easy to grow, Cushion Spurge tolerates cold, drought, salt, and wind once established, making it an excellent choice for low-maintenance landscapes.
