What is the plant

Euphorbia cyparissias - the cypress spurge - is a species native to dunes and grasslands in Europe, and introduced to North America, originally as an ornamental plant. It is a perennial growing to 40 cm (16 in) tall, with small and linear, 4 cm (1.6 in) long leaves and green-yellow petal-like bracts, maturing to purple or red from May to August. E. cyparissias is considered a noxious weed in many places, including Colorado in the United States.

How to Care for the Plant

Water
During growth, water once or twice a week. Water adult plants by big inputs even if you do it less often; the plant will develop a better root system if it has to fetch its water in depth. When watering, wait until the water that you pour stop rushing into the ground, and forms a small puddle.
Pruning
The regular pruning of euphorbia is not essential. However, we can cut down the stems in spring or fall, to limit the development of the plant.
Sunlight
This plant does best in full sun to partial shade.
