Euphorbia Robbiae problem

My usually indestructible Euphorbia mini hedge is looking somewhat unhealthy as we head into Spring. 

Does anybody have any ideas what’s going on here ... and more importantly what can be done about it?

    Frost damage. Mine is the same in parts. It will probably not flower on that stem this year but you'll get new shoots for next year especially if you cut now but later is ok too.

    Not a lot you can do, they do get damaged from cold/wet. As explained, you should cut them back now to allow them time to grow back. At this time of year, they will grow fast. To avoid this happening next year, try to cut them all very low in autumn time, that allows them time to grow back but not sufficient enough to start growing tall and flower too early. An issue which is happening more and more because of mild winters followed by cold snaps in March.
