Euphorbia myrsinites, commonly known as myrtle spurge, is a striking evergreen perennial featuring trailing stems that reach up to two feet in length. Its distinctive, fleshy blue-green leaves are arranged in tight, ornamental spirals, creating a unique succulent-like appearance. In spring, the plant produces vibrant yellow-green bracts that brighten rock gardens and border fronts. Thriving in full sun and well-drained, poor soils, it is exceptionally drought-tolerant and ideal for xeriscaping.
