Common name flowering spurge; poison spurge Family euphorbiaceae Life cycle perennial Flowers white (early summer) Size 3' Light sun Seed ripens late October We got this at a native plant sale quite a few years ago. Over the years, I've gone back and forth on the question of its gardenworthiness - luckily, my lack of resolve paid off, because this plant has really grown into its prime in the last few seasons, with bountiful sprays of tiny white flowers that last for weeks. The small upper leaves have white margins, but the variegation is subtle - not obvious unless you get real close. Unlike many other euphorbias, it's not a thug - I've seen no spreading by seed or roots.

In our garden, this plant grows in the following areas: rock garden annex, orchard nursery area

Apparently needs some cold conditioning before germination.
