Spurge (prostate & spotted)

Prostrate Spurge 


Spotted Spurge

 
Spotted spurge has a more upright growth habit while prostrate spurge hugs the ground and the stems root at the nodes.

You will commonly find prostate spurge in the cracks of sidewalks and driveways.  It has a long tap root and when it is young it is easily pulled when the soil is moist. 

Each leaf of both varieties contains a red ish/purple spot. 

Life Cycle: Summer annual broadleaf week that reproduces by seed.

History: Could not locate
