Spurges are shrub-like perennials that are easy to grow for gardeners of any level, as long as they're planted in well-draining soils. It's tolerant of heat, drought, and even poor soils, making it ideal for problematic or xeric sites. Since it's resistant to deer, rabbits, and diseases, it takes very little (or no maintenance) to remain attractive all season long. Plant it in full sun in northern zones and part sun (with afternoon shade) in southern zones for the best performance.
