Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A North American native with a look that suggests 'Baby's Breath' in the garden. Clusters of tiny white flowers on 2-3' stems are produced for months in summer. It never looks like much when grown in a pot, which most likely accounts for why few nurseries sell the plant, but those who see it blooming away in the garden all want it! This Spurge does self-sow, and the happiest plants seem to be those that come up on their own. Foliage takes on red and orange tones in autumn. Loves a sunny site with good drainage and is deer resistant!
