    I'm looking for several varieties of Euphorbia that would be suitable for giving some height to a shady and problematic corner of the border.

    I already have Euphorbia Martinii elsewhere which is spectacular, but not that tall. I know there is a beautiful blue/green one with yellow flowers which can get quite tall but no idea of the name.

    When I say tall, I mean 4 foot. Ish.

    Sorry Bob, that's not it. The one I'm thinking of is light blue/green, with the characteristic yellow blooms.

    How big do Purpurea grow to?

    Ta muchly. One to remember - a couple of them can go in front of the tall one I'm thinking about!

    I'm hoping for some ideas at Hampton Court Flower Show.

    Thanks Bob - that's something I didn't know. I will have a look tomorrow.
