Notes

'White Ghost' mottled spurge (Euphorbia lactea 'White Ghost') is a succulent for specimen plantings, hedges, and winter interest. 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, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Its pale, spiny, upright stems can branch into a candelabra with time. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. The yellow-tinged blooms open in early to late summer.

Pairs well with Snake plant, Citronella grass, and Golden pothos.
