Euphorbia ‘Ascot Liliput’

Common Name:
Ascot Liliput Spurge

Description:
Euphorbia ‘Ascot Liliput’ is a compact, evergreen perennial grown for its striking variegated foliage and showy lime-green flower bracts. A dwarf form of the popular Euphorbia x martini ‘Ascot Rainbow’, this tidy cultivar produces neat mounds of grey-green leaves edged in cream and tinged with pink in cooler weather. From late winter into spring, it is crowned with clusters of chartreuse flower bracts with maroon centres, offering long-lasting colour and architectural interest. Perfectly suited to Melbourne’s climate, ‘Ascot Liliput’ thrives in full sun and well-drained soils and is highly drought-tolerant once established. Its compact form makes it ideal for borders, mixed plantings, containers, and modern low-water gardens. It is low maintenance, deer resistant, and tolerant of coastal conditions. Prune back spent flower stems after blooming to encourage fresh growth.
