About the plant Euphorbia Hypericifolia:

Common Name(s): Baby’s -breathe Euphorbia, Flux weed, Garden Spurge, Graceful Sandmat, Graceful Spurge, Large Spotted Spurge.

Graceful Spurge is a perennial branched herb, spreading to erect, growing up to 2 feet high. It is native to the tropical Americas and as with most euphorbias, contains a milky sap that is a skin and eye irritant, so wear gloves and eye protection when handling this plant. In NC it can be grown as an annual or brought inside for winter. The flowers themselves are insignificant but are they surrounded by showy white bracts. There is no deadheading needed and it will bloom all season long.
Plant in light well-drained soils in full sun to partial shade. It is deer, heat, and drought tolerant. Use this plant in a border front, rock gardens, containers, and hanging pots. If bringing this plant inside for the winter, cut it back and place it in a sunny window.
