‘Bonfire’ Cushion Spurge lights the garden all season long with the evolving color palette of its foliage and flowers. This is perhaps the most colorful spurge you can find, and an unbeatable choice for all-season color. The deep reds of the top foliage hover above darker greens beneath, and turn to rich burgundy as the season progresses. Bracts of yellow flowers add another dimension of color for several weeks in late spring.
The tidy mounded growth habit acts much like its namesake, wishing a soft, cushion-like appearance and fiery color scheme. Use this spurge to add constant, deep color to garden beds, walkways, and even containers on patios. This is an easy-care perennial in Zones 5-9. ‘Bonfire’ Cushion Spurge is deer- and rabbit-resistant, as well as tolerant of heat, drought, and salt.
Bonfire Cushion Spurge Care
Always use gloves when handling this plant, as the sap can irritate the skin and eyes. Cushion Spurge does best in full or part sun conditions. Full sun is ideal for growing it in Zone 5, and part sun is best for warmer Zones.
It is generally very easy to care for, with low water needs and a wide range of ideal soil pH. Cut back to about 4” after spring flowering to keep the tidy cushion shape and prevent splitting.
Bonfire Cushion Spurge Spacing
Space cushion spurge 18-24” apart from other plants. Plant it alone for a rounded architectural addition to a large container.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
