Euphorbia x pasteurii ‘John Phillips’

A selected clone, first sold here at Pan Global', of this marvellous hybrid spurge, received from and named after a fine and generous plantsman from Wiltshire who was one of the first to grow it in the UK. Some E. x pasteurii can look very like E. mellifera, this does not, with big broad foliage and a very vigorous constitution. Honey scented flowers. Very tough, but safest in a sheltered spot as one in every ten or twenty year winters can cut this back. A large rounded shrub up to about 3m, or more if very happy.
