Euphorbia rigida
Silver Spurge
Description
Silver Spurge is a semi upright shrub that will reach 2' high and 3' wide at maturity. It has attractive blue-green, lance shaped leaves configured in spirals around the upright stems. In late winter and spring, at the branch tips sprout small green flowers with showy chartreuse-yellow bracts. In time, they turn reddish giving the garden two colors for the price of one. Plant in full to part sun in a soil that drains well if you can but it will tolerates other soil conditions fairly well.
