At Great Dixter a venerable old crab apple, M. floribunda, growing near the oast, appears to rise from a carpet of E. pinnatum subsp. colchicum (AGM). I love Christopher Lloyd’s description of Euphorbia palustris’s lime green ‘flowers’ as literally sparkling perhaps with ‘a tiny crystal of nectar in the centre of each flower’. It is a particularly nice euphorbia with a good spread and an average height of a couple of feet as well as lime green inflorescences. Perfect for giving a dramatic backdrop to bright tulips. Another spurge that takes itself here and there and then flowers in April is E. amygdaloides var. robbiae. It’s not a rich and rare plant and it pops up usually where you haven’t planted it but it produces loose limey ‘flowers’ from rosettes of dark evergreen leaves which are just great with bright spring bulbs. Have a look at the Cottage Garden at Sissinghurst in April to see the first of the euphorbia flowering. Each spring I admire Euphorbia polychroma there and mean to grow it. Greenish yellow flower heads last for weeks, are SO cheerful and are perfect for the front of a border. I haven’t grown it myself but it might be an idea as I usually go for huge plants like E. mellifera and E. stygiana which grow into completely unruly giants. And finally, the hellebores, most of which started flowering long before April, are treats in the spring garden. One that is completely different from the hellebore hybrids we grow and collect is the Corsican hellebore, Helleborus argutifolius. I saw a clump in full flower yesterday and it is a very dramatic, beautiful thing. The combination of big bold trifoliate leaves, distinctively veined and many bunches of apple green flowers is very striking. I couldn’t help noticing that seedlings were coming up merrily in the gravel surrounding it. A midnight raid perhaps?
