Hi Lynn,
FYI
This is the entry for Poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima) rather than the Euphorbia amygdaloides hybrid that you have pictured. I just proposed that the Euphorbia amygdaloides hybrid 'Red Velvet' be added to the database so that you can get everything moved over to that entry.

Thank you so much Danita.

A newborn database entry for you.
Thanks, zuzu!
Spurge (Euphorbia Red Velvet)

Thank you Danita and Zuzu.

Done.

Hmmm, I guess this comment needs to be moved, too.

@zuzu
Is there a way to move this comment to the proper entry or does it just need to be re-posted over there and then deleted here?

Thanks!

It has been moved.

Thank you so much to both of you. I forgot about the comment.
Sure wish it did not seed itself all over the place. It has such a lovely texture and coloring of the leaves.

A question about this plant, could I still grow it and remove the blooms before they go to seed? And not have it coming up everywhere? I don't know why I didn't think of that before.

Lynn, I have a similar problem with E. fens ruby. Very pretty plant, but reseeds and suckers everywhere. If red velvet is anything like fens ruby, just cutting it before going to seed would NOT prevent it from multiplying. I have found fens ruby to be OK in some spots, but it has absolutely taken over a dry rockery area, over powering the other plants. Some days I consider just letting it do so, other times I pull it all out (knowing that is just a delay tactic). In its favor, it is rather a 4 season perennial -- bright new growth, jolly yellow flowers, red fall color, and kind of cobwebby seed heads. Some battles are just not worth it to me...

I understand what you are saying. I looked that one up, it is nice.
How can it spread if the blooms are removed before going to seed? I grow mine in a cinderblock bed, in the holes of the blocks.

Mine sends up lots (and lots) of little rootlets that seem to travel quite a bit. In addition to reseeding themselves. It has become quite a pest in my rockery, I think it likes the sunny slope.

What a bummer. So far everything I put in the cement block holes has not excaped, not even the different campanulas.
