An upright spurge native to southern and southeastern Europe and the near East., the Balkans and Turkey. Narrow blue-green leaves are arranged as spirals along erect green stems. The hardiness range quoted above is the most optimistic one I could find among online resources – most rate it hardy only to zone 7, so I'm hoping for a mild winter, so that my seedlings can get established before getting hit with the hardest freezes that our Pennsylvania winter can dole out.
