Description

The Euphorbia genus encompasses a diverse range of plants, from small, low-growing succulents to large, woody shrubs. Known for their unique and often striking foliage, Euphorbias can add an exotic touch to gardens and indoor spaces. Their milky sap is a characteristic feature, though it can be irritating to skin and eyes.
