Notes

'Jessie' spurge (Euphorbia 'Jessie') is a perennial for borders, containers, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to wet, sandy or loamy soil. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. Green flowers with yellow bracts open in spring and again in summer on stems that reach 36 to 60 inches tall.

Pairs well with Blue flag, Gardenia peony, and Honeyberry.
