Wood spurge
Euphorbia amygdaloides
Wood spurge is an attractive, shade-tolerant evergreen perennial that brings year-round interest with its dark foliage and chartreuse spring flower bracts. It thrives in partial shade under trees or in woodland garden settings with moist, well-drained soil. Handle with care, as all parts of the plant produce a milky sap that can irritate skin and eyes.
