Euphorbia corollata

flowering spurge

Flowering spurge emerges in mid- to late-summer, tolerating mesic to dry conditions in full sun and partial shade. Drought-tolerant and disease-free in well-drained soils, it also tolerates a bit of clay, making it a nice option for people with clayey and compacted grounds.
