Notes

'Efanthia' spurge (Euphorbia amygdaloides 'Efanthia') is a perennial for borders, rock gardens, ground cover, and winter interest. This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average, sandy or loamy soil. It forms a clumping, evergreen mound that grows quickly. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. The plant tolerates drought and blooms in early to late spring.

Pairs well with Silver sage, Prairie dropseed, and Red spider lily.
