Euphorbia amygdaloides (Wood Spurge)
|
|
Wood spurge (euphorbia amygdaloides) is a first rate British native plant. The lime green flowers emerge in early spring, and are very similar to those of the closely related euphorbia robbiae. Over the years a single plant will form a clump of many flowering shoots from one tuberous root. The flower stems are biennial, so there is generally one set of smaller shoots growing up to flower next year, while this year's larger shoots are in flower.
Some people consider that euphorbia robbiae is a form of euphorbia amygdaloides. The main differences are that euphorbia robbiae spreads by roots (while euphorbia amygdaloides forms a crown and does not spread) and the leaves of euphorbia robbiae are a darker green. This euphorbia will grow in any well drained soil in sun or shade.
