Notes
'Helena' spurge (Euphorbia 'Helena') is a perennial for borders, containers, and meadows. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full or part sun and dry to wet, sandy or loamy soil. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. White flowers open in spring and again in summer on low plants that tolerate drought.
Pairs well with Licorice plant, Parrot's beak, and Mexican bush sage.
