Similar to Baby's Breath in appearance, the tiny white blossoms of this native perennial are utterly winsome. Perfect for wildflower bouquets, but does take a few years to become established. The common name of this particular species is derived from the French word "espurgier," which means "to purge," in reference to the plant's historical use as an herb to cleanse the body. The Euphorbia genus includes a wide variety of plants including poinsettias and many succulent, low growing plants. The name "Euphorbia" honors the physician of an ancient African king, Juba II. This king's personal physician, Euphorbus, used a plant from this family to heal the king.
