Euphorbia cyparissias, or cypress spurge, is a vigorous, rhizomatous perennial known for its fine-textured, needle-like foliage that resembles a miniature conifer. It typically reaches 12 inches in height and spreads rapidly to form a dense ground cover. In spring, it produces showy, lime-yellow bracts that transition to a reddish hue as they age. This plant thrives in dry, well-drained soils and full sun, making it ideal for slopes, though its invasive nature requires careful management.
