Easily recognizable for its clusters of lime-green blooms, Mediterranean Spurge is a widely-used plant in Mediterranean landscapes. This perennial’s showy color actually comes from cup-like bracts that surround each tiny flower. These flower clusters appear in spring and summer, rising atop upright blue-green foliage. A word of caution: the bright flowers, grey-green leaves, and stems of Euphorbia characias wulfenii all secrete a toxic milky sap when cut or broken. This plant should never be ingested. On the positive side, its toxicity is a deterrent to gophers, voles and moles, and some gardeners claim that planting Euphorbia can encourage these critters to set up shop elsewhere. Deer and rabbit resistant. Plant in full sun with good drainage and provide regular water in the hottest months.
