Author Message   Kvilledude  My Weather Posted on Saturday, March 29, 2003 - 08:00 am:    David or any others knowledgeable about euphorbias, does anyone know what euphorbia this is? It is stoloniferous in nature and likes to spread. I got it at an old homesite and put it in a bucket to contain it, but somehow it got loose and has naturalized in an area. I am not concerned about it spreading where it is but would like to know what it is. Also, just wanted to post a picture of my euphorbia characias wulfenii that was but a mere seedling last spring. It has grown a lot in one year. Another one can be seen in the far background.

Does it die back completely in winter? Those are very nice wulfeniis you have there! Nice and bushy--some get real leggy and tall.

The leaves are sort of thin and threadlike. I believe I have seen pictures of Euphorbia cyparissias and believed that was what it was. Thanks for the help.

It spreads like crazy, which is great because it's in a sloping rock garden with no place to go. It blooms pale greenish-yellow just like the pic, then the blooms turn rosy mauve end of summer. The leaves are very, very soft, and the blooms have a pleasant fragrance. The sap is milky and glue-like, and it does die back every fall. Does this sound right?
