Euphorbia Epith First Blush (also known as Cushion Spurge or Euphorbia Epithymoides) is a perennial native to central and southeast Europe. This cultivar developed by Planthaven offers colorful variegated foliage with a compact mounding habit of 8-12" tall and wide.

Epith First Blush flourishes in full sun to partial shade, a striking addition to any garden, front porch, or patio. Try Diwali Shower for a Baby's Breath Euphorbia or Miner's Merlot for striking dark foliage.

Before we take this relationship any further...
It looks like this is the first time you've added anything to your cart.
We just wanted to remind you that we are a wholesale starter plant company that sells to businesses, schools, clubs, and other non-profits. State law dictates that you must be growing for resale to order from us since we are not collecting sales tax.
If we aren't a match, we understand. It's not you, it's us.
We would look awful in orange jumpsuits.
