This plant, along with 12 others, was intended for an order placed at the end of May (the last possible planting period for the season). Nine days later, having received nothing, I contacted the dispatch service for the second time, who stubbornly insisted that the parcel had indeed been sent but that the tracking slip had not been included with the parcel. I eventually obtained a refund but received no apology or goodwill gesture; instead, I dealt with an aggressive person who was also acting in bad faith. I obviously never received my parcel and had to wait until September and turn to another supplier to be able to carry out my plantings... If the dispatch service doesn't follow through, why should one turn to you rather than a traditional garden centre?

Description
The Euphorbia or Euphorbia amygdaloides var. robbiae is a perennial that adapts to the dry shade of trees and is, therefore, suitable for woodland areas. Its flowering period from April to May is characterized by vibrant and striking shades of chartreuse green, accentuated by fused bracts forming a complete disc that illuminates corners of the garden. The dark green leaves are semi-evergreen.
There are numerous and diverse Euphorbias in terms of their characteristics. Their common feature for most is their always decorative foliage and flowering. Their upright stems start from the base and form a bushy clump, more spreading but smaller than the Wood Euphorbia: 50 cm (20in). They bear numerous obovate leaves, 3 to 8 cm (1 to 3in) long, dark green and glossy, up to the tops that are topped with inflorescences. These inflorescences are grouped in cymes, 8 to 10 cm (3 to 4in) tall, and covered with numerous small cyathia (this term is mainly used for Euphorbias). Take a close look at Euphorbias; their delicate collared bracts, silhouette, long-lasting foliage, and brightly coloured flowers make them essential in flowerbeds.
The only downside is that these plants have significant characteristics. Their sap consists of an irritating and toxic latex. Always remember to handle them with gloves, keep an eye on children playing nearby, and warn them.
The Euphorbia amygdaloides var. robbiae is best placed in woodlands alongside Lamiums, Epimediums, Periwinkles, and spring bulbs. It tolerates summer drought and adapts to different soil types, although it prefers humus-bearing and moist soils. Take advantage of its brightness and pair it with the light blue of Brunneras.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
