(Euphorbia myrsinites)
Myrtle spurge is a low-growing perennial with trailing fleshy stems. The leaves are fleshy, blue-green, and alternate. Flowers are inconspicuous with yellow-green, petal-like bracts that appear from March to May. Myrtle spurge spreads by seed and plants are capable of projecting seeds up to 15 feet. The plant grows from a taproot, with new stems emerging in early spring and dying back in the winter. Plants can grow up to 8-12 inches high and 12-18 inches in width.
