Cushion Spurge Euphorbia Polychroma is a herbaceous perennial native to central and southeastern Europe.

Cushion Spurge is the clump-forming perennial plant which typically grows in a dome, rounded mound that resembles a cushion, and in addition to the bright sulphur-yellow bracts that are exceptionally showy, the foliage turns from bright green to red in fall.
