Euphorbia dulcis 'Chameleon', also known as Sweet Spurge, lives up to its name. It truly has a good character. It will grow in all well-drained soils, adapts to all its neighbours, and endures winter and even drought. Its dense cushion remains beautiful from April to November, displaying fine purple-burgundy foliage, turning bright violet in autumn. In late spring, it is adorned with yellow-green flowers marked with purple. This plant is undoubtedly one of the best dark-foliaged euphorbias. Ideal in full sun or partial shade.
Â
Euphorbia dulcis 'Chameleon' is part of the vast Euphorbiaceae family. 'Chameleon' forms a rounded and regular clump, measuring 40cm (16in) in all directions. Its growth rate is quite slow. When the young foliage appears in spring, it displays the most intense brown-red colour in the world of euphorbias. It takes on vibrant violet shades in autumn. Flowering takes place from May to July, in the form of flowers without petals. The bracts and cyathia are marked yellow-green and purple, before turning violet in autumn. It will make many spontaneous sowings in well-drained or heavy soil, in full sun or in light shade.
Â
Euphorbia dulcis 'Chameleon' is easy to establish in the garden, as long as the soil is well-drained. It will find its place in all perennial beds, forming a beautiful contrast with grey or silver foliage (Artemisia schmidtiana 'Nana', lavender 'Richard Gray', Cotula hispida), or with the white flowering of Filipendula hexapetala 'Plena', or Aster ericoides f. prostratus 'Snow flurry'.

Davantage d'informations sur https://plantes-risque.info
Plant Euphorbia dulcis 'Chameleon' in light, poor, moist to dry, and especially well-drained soil. Neutral or slightly acidic, limestone soil is suitable. This spurge requires a very sunny exposure in cooler regions, where its foliage will be more intensely coloured. It prefers partial shade in warmer and sunnier climates. This plant does not tolerate the combination of heat and humidity well, which is its only weak point. It is advisable to cut back the floral stems at ground level as they fade, waiting for the inflorescences to be completely withered to prevent excessive latex from flowing out. It is essential to protect your hands from the latex as it causes skin inflammation. Pruning may sometimes be necessary to prevent the plant from becoming unsightly or to avoid uncontrolled seed formation and propagation. If sowing is allowed to occur, the seedlings will either be identical to the parent or will revert to the common form.

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).
