Euphorbia – Spurge

Most spurges (including Christmas poinsettias) are poisonous (how do the deer know?). These varieties look great in the deer-resistant garden, doing well even in a dry spot with poor-to-medium soil. All plant parts could cause discomfort if ingested; contact with the milky sap may irritate skin. FYI, some Euphorbias are not deer-resistant including Euphorbia griffithii, E. amygdaloides 'Purpurea' and E. dulcis 'Chameleon.'
