About Perennial Euphorbia
Euphorbia, commonly called Spurge, brings rich colors and interesting flowers to the garden while being extremely low-maintenance and drought resistant.
This plant comes in over 2,000 species, so chances are good there’s a color, height, or texture of Spurge that will pique your interest!
Euphorbia’s colors will deepen in full sun but it can tolerate partial shade.
The same milky sap that makes this plant deer resistant is also an irritant on human skin, so wear gloves if cutting this interesting and resilient plant back.
