| General Description | Euphorbia myrsinites is a low, trailing, evergreen, herbaceous perennial with long stems covered in beautifully-shaped leaves and topped with clusters of yellow-green flowers. |
| Landscape | Makes a stunning display when combined with other plants contrasting in texture, colour and/or height. Use in borders, sprawled over stone walls or in rock gardens. |
| Cultivation | Grow in full sun, in dry, well-drained soil. Freely self-seeds: prompt removal of old flowers will prevent this from occurring. Shorter lifespan in climates with warm winters. |
| Pests | No serious pests or diseases to note. |
| Notable Specimens | The A.M. Cuddy Gardens, Strathroy, Ontario, Canada. The Toronto Botanical Gardens, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. |
| Leaf Description | Evening distributed in close spirals around stems, slightly fleshy, succulent-like, lighter green at margins. |
| Flower Description | In terminal clusters up to 10 cm wide; true flowers are green, surrounded by pairs of yellow-green bracts, quite striking. |
