Dwarf spurge
Euphorbia exigua
Dwarf spurge is a small annual weed-like plant often found in disturbed soils, arable fields, and rocky ground across Europe and the Mediterranean. It is largely grown as a botanical curiosity or for ecological planting rather than ornamental use. Handle with care as all parts of the plant contain a milky sap that can irritate skin and eyes.
