EUPHORBIA Plants with colorful foliage are often welcomed to con- 

 trast with those that have all green leaves or as a change from 

 plants that are grown chiefly for their flowers. Especially good 

 for filling in bare spots in the border.

 are bright green, but as they become mature they are more and 

 more tinged and margined with silvery white. The plant needs
