Tall spurge (Euphorbia altissima) is a South African perennial with glaucous leaves that flowers from May to September.

Euphorbias are grown as much for structure and acid-green colouring as for flowers. What reads as the flower is in fact a pair of showy bracts, usually lime, chartreuse or sulphur yellow, sometimes flushed orange or red, surrounding tiny true flowers at the centre. The genus is enormous and varied, taking in evergreen sub-shrubs with whorled blue-grey foliage, spreading woodlanders for dry shade, and airy herbaceous kinds that colour brilliantly in autumn. All exude a milky latex when cut.
