Euphorbia amygdaloides
is a low running perennial, happy in sun or shade. The Wood
Spurge needs only a little extra water in our dry climate to perform,
though it will survive quite some time without by going summer
dormant. Euphorbia amygdaloides has dark green foliage and
lime-yellow flowers in the early to mid Spring. Most of the above ground portion of the stalk
dies after blooming. New shoots appear from the base of the stem or
from underground. The sap causes skin irritation in some people, and
care should be used when trimming the Wood Spurge. Euphorbia
amygdaloides robbiae grows to 18" tall and spreads a few inches to a
foot in each direction each year. Euphorbia amygdaloides is Winter
hardy to zone 5.
