Euphorbia myrsinites is an exceptional specimen from the succulent family, popularly acclaimed as Myrtle Spurge. This stalwart perennial hails from Southeast Europe and Asia, and creates a visual spectacle with its spiralling blue-green, succulent foliage that spreads up to 12 inches wide. Standing up to 6 inches tall, Myrtle Spurge crowns a jewel with its stunning chartreuse-yellow flowers that spring forth during late winter or early spring. Not one to shield from the sun, this species revels in full sun glare and makes a bold statement in your garden despite its surprisingly low water requirements, owing to its superior drought-resistant feature. However, a word of caution - Myrtle Spurge carries a toxic sap, which can irritate the skin if touched and is harmful if ingested. As such, it's not the best choice for gardens hosting little children or playful pets. Ideal for arid landscapes, rock gardens, slopes, or borders, Myrtle Spurge rewards your attention with its architectural beauty and enduring nature.
