    Hi All,

    I have a euphorbia that has been in for two years and this year it has grown masses and is dwarfing the plants around it.

    My first question is when is the best time to cut it back?

    Thanks

    Feline

    The second one is when the best time to move it would be?

    You don't say what kind of euphorbia it is and how big the space is. some varieties can take over any garden, others more easily kept in place.

    I move mine when the leaves have died back, but take great care as the sap can cause a very nasty skin reaction.

    I had a huge orange one ?grifithii?? which got totally ungardened. Polychrome needs keeping in check, but then I have a dark purple one which makes lovely ground cover which I just leave alone appart from pulling the odd root off to propergate.
