Euphorbia myrsinites (Myrtle Spurge) 1Q

Also called Myrtle Spurge or Donkey Tail, this succulent forms beautiful rotating spirals on blue green pointed leaves on long sprawling stems. Flowers surrounded by bright yellow bracts form at the end of each stem to add additional interest. Requiring good draining, it makes a great addition to the xeric garden or accent for containers. Milky white sap can cause irritation, so gloves are recommended when cutting back.
