Description
Euphorbia reminds me of an alien invader in an old science fiction movie. But the only thing euphorbia is trying to take over is my backyard!
Euphorbia are commonly called spurge. The family Euphorbiaceae covers a wide range of plants which includes the poinsettia. They are drought tolerant plants with a milky, sticky, poisonous sap. The sap from some varieties was used as a laxative, or purge, which is where they got their common name spurge. These particular euphorbia spread by seed (plentifully), but are very easy to remove (thankfully).
