Euphorbia
Euphorbia is a large and diverse genus of plants that includes over 2,000 species, ranging from succulents and herbaceous plants to shrubs and trees. Many euphorbias are known for their unique, architectural shapes, often resembling cacti, though they are unrelated. A defining characteristic of euphorbias is their milky, latex-like sap, which is toxic and can cause skin and eye irritation.
Common ornamental species include:
-
Euphorbia tirucalli (Pencil Cactus)
-
Euphorbia milii (Crown of Thorns)
-
Euphorbia obesa (Baseball Plant)
-
Euphorbia amygdaloides (Wood Spurge)
Euphorbias are widely used in dry gardens, rock gardens, and containers, appreciated for their drought resistance, sculptural appearance, and in some cases, colorful bracts that resemble flowers.
