#ProPlantTips for Care:
Spurge plants do best in full sun and also appreciates some part shade as well, especially afternoon shade in the hottest of its growing zones 6 through 11. Provide a well-drained site with moderate moisture, regular fertility and a 3-4 inch thick layer of mulch over the surface. Prune in late autumn or early spring before you see new growth wearing gloves to avoid the milky sap from coming in contact with skin.
