Euphorbia myrsinites is a low-growing, drought-tolerant perennial known for its unique and striking appearance.


The leaves are fleshy, like those of a succulent, and glaucous-blue to grayish-green leaves that are arranged in a spiral along its stems.

The stems grow from a single point, octopusing outwords and creating an exceptionally graphic silhouette.

The flowers are typically yellow-green, and the bracts surrounding them can have a reddish hue, which adds to the plant’s visual appeal.


The drought tolerance and mat-forming growth means that Euphorbia myrsinites is well adapted to rock gardens, garden borders and hanging baskets.

The drier it is, the harder it is for others to grow – the happier Euphorbia myrsinites will be.


The Tales:

These plants are a common sight in California where they are a favorite in drought-tolerant gardens or xeriscaping.

Nota bene: the milky white sap that exudes from a wounded Euphorbia is toxic and can be an irritant (particularly for little children) so please do handle your new friend with great care
