The Flowering Spurge is a native, perennial wildflower. It reaches a height of three feet. Its flowering stalks are topped by 1/8 to 1/3-inch-wide, white flowers in large, loose, long-lasting clusters. The leaves are alternate. A whorl of smooth, green leaves surrounds a stem at the point where three to seven flowering stalks branch off. It grows in rocky prairies, open woodlands, fields, waste places, and along roadsides.
