Sweet spurge
Euphorbia dulcis
Sweet spurge is a clump-forming perennial that thrives in dappled shade or partial sun, making it ideal for woodland garden borders. Plant in humus-rich, moderately moist but well-draining soil and water every 10-14 days, easing off in autumn and winter. Like all euphorbias, it produces a milky sap that can irritate skin and eyes, so wear gloves when handling.
