'Candy' cushion spurge (Euphorbia epithymoides 'Candy') is a perennial that grows 12 to 18 inches tall and 18 to 30 inches wide. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun and dry soil. Yellow blooms show up in mid to late spring. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. The foliage also turns color in fall.
