SAHARA™ BLACKBIRD SPURGE
Euphorbia Sahara™ 'Blackbird' (sometimes referred to as 'Nothowlee') is a striking evergreen sub-shrub celebrated for its dramatic, deep burgundy-to-near-black foliage. This compact cultivar maintains a dense, mounded habit that provides year-round architectural interest in the garden. In spring, the dark stems are topped with contrasting lime-yellow bracts, creating a vivid "neon" effect against the dark leaves. This color combination makes it a favorite for modern landscape designs and mixed containers, where its moody texture can serve as a focal point among silver-leaved plants or bright perennials.
For the best results, Euphorbia 'Blackbird' should be planted in a spot that receives full sun, as maximum light exposure is necessary to develop and maintain its intense dark pigmentation. It is highly drought-tolerant once established and requires sharply drained soil to prevent root rot; it will not tolerate "wet feet" or heavy, waterlogged clay. It is generally hardy in USDA zones 6 through 9 and is notably deer and rabbit resistant due to the milky white sap within its stems.
