Euphorbia Corollata flowering spurge. The spurge is the product of a large and diverse family of flowering plants, with a substantial percentage of them having medicinal properties. From June to August the erect stems that grow in a whorling circular pattern, yield flowers with five white petals, a yellow center, and a touch of green in the middle of that. The plant has a very rich nectar that is popular with a multitude of insects and different kinds of birds, such as: the wild turkey, horned lark, and mourning dove. It also has the pleasure of attracting a VIP; the endangered butterfly, Karner Blue. This perennial plant will thrive in almost any soil type, and be disease free, as long as the soil is well drained. There are no worries about animals because the leaves contain a toxic white sap that will cause sickness or even death if too much is ingested. Humans are cautioned to wear gloves when handling the plant because the toxic white milky sap can cause skin irritation, and if ingested, it may cause diarrhea, nausea and vomiting. The flowering spurge has a history of medicinal uses for making laxatives among others, but it is poisonous in large doses.

I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised and cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine, Florida. All seed are NOT alike! There are so many different factors in germination and not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening and you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right!
SEED GERMINATION TIP!!!!!!!
ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME.
DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS IN A BARREL.
Good Luck and Happy Planting!!!!
