Dry shade is one of the hardest garden spots to plant. It occurs under mature trees or next to tall walls where roots suck up all the moisture and the canopy blocks the light. Fortunately, Wood Spurge (*Euphorbia amygdaloides*) is built for exactly this challenge.
This tough, evergreen perennial forms neat mounds of dark green foliage that stay attractive all winter. In spring, it produces large, long-lasting clusters of bright chartreuse yellow-green flower bracts that glow in dark corners. It is drought-tolerant once established and thrives in dry shade, making it a valuable plant for low-maintenance garden layouts.
