Hart and Ruby, "where do you find them?" - that's easy, we grow them :)

We haven't found any problem with overwintering them - yet! Of course we had a pretty mild winter last year and some of these are questionable for our cold Zone 6a. Even though they're 'evergreen', sometimes they start looking pretty ratty by April (all top foliage with bare 'legs') and we cut them to the ground as soon as see the new shoots forming at the base. Not sure about the 'Orange Grove' - this is the first year in the gardens for us - the foliage definitely has a distinctive look to it, but not really what I'd call 'orange'. Maybe when it flowers we'll find out that they have an orange hue to them?

Have a couple more in the gardens that haven't done as well this year - this picture is from last year - Euphorbia griffithi 'Dixter' (similar to 'Fireglow') - nice red stems on this one and the fall color is incredible - like a glowing fire :)
