Karensusan63's Garden
Spurge 'Silver Swan'
Genus: Euphorbia.
Species: Euphorbia characias.
Garden care: Each stem is biennial, so will produce leaves in its first year and flower in its second. Once the stem has produced a flower it should be cut right back to its base, or to a point where there is new growth emerging, in midsummer. This will make way for lots of new, fresh shoots. When working with spurges always wear gloves since the milky sap is poisonous and a potential skin irritant.
