Properties and uses:
The Euphorbia Lathyris, also called Caper Spurge or Mole plant, is considered a natural mole repulsive; the moles stay away from the toxic roots. As for other Euphorbias, the leaves are arranged in opposite pairs along the stem. The yellow flowers bloom in spring and they decorate planters and flowerbeds. The Euphorbia is biennial, which means that after its blooming cycle, it produces seeds before dying. Hardy and not demanding, this plant can find its place in your flowerbed or rock garden, more or less shady.
