Flowering spurge (Euphorbia corollata) produces so many small, white baby’s breath-like flowers from summer through fall that the plants often tilt to one side. Too much fertilizer encourages the plant to become even more top heavy. As with its relative the poinsettia, the flowers are actually modified leaves; the "real" flowers are small, golden structures in the middle of the white bracts. Flowering spurge performs best in soils with low fertility in full sun. A whole host of native insects in the wasp, bee, and fly families are fond of the nectar, while wild turkey, greater prairie-chicken, bobwhite quail, and mourning dove enjoy the ripe seeds. Like other members of this genus, the sap is a milky white color and contains a number of chemicals that rabbits and deer avoid.
