What is euphorbia rigida?

Euphorbia rigida, also known as Gopher Spurge, is a species of flowering plant in the Euphorbia genus. It is native to the Mediterranean region and is commonly found in rocky, dry habitats.

This plant is a low-growing perennial that forms a compact mound of blue-green, succulent-like leaves. In the spring, it produces clusters of small, yellow flowers at the top of upright stems.

Euphorbia rigida is known for its drought tolerance and ability to thrive in poor, rocky soil. It is a low-maintenance plant that is often used in xeriscaping or rock gardens.

While Euphorbia rigida is a striking and unique addition to the garden, it is important to note that all parts of the plant are toxic if ingested and can cause skin irritation. Therefore, it is best to handle this plant with gloves and exercise caution when planting or pruning.
