About Euphorbia nevadensis
Euphorbia nevadensis, commonly known as spurge, is a perennial or biennial herbaceous plant native to the Iberian Peninsula. It is characterized by its reddish stems, lanceolate leaves, and small yellowish flowers grouped in cyathia, forming attractive inflorescences. It is ideal for rock gardens, low-maintenance gardens, or as part of a Mediterranean garden, adding a wild and robust touch.
Native range

Care tips
It requires full sun to partial shade exposure and well-drained soil, preferably calcareous and poor in nutrients. Watering should be moderate, allowing the substrate to dry out completely between waterings, as it is very drought tolerant. Avoid excessive moisture, especially in winter, to prevent root rot. Exercise caution when handling due to its irritating sap.
