This plant is not fussy about soils, but it does need good drainage. Donkey Tail Spurge will stay evergreen if the temperatures are high enough, but in some areas, the stems and leaves may die back to the crown. Use gloves, as the foliage contains a milky sap that can be irritating to some.

With interesting foliage, like stacks of waxy and fleshy gray-green triangles, this plant is aptly known as Donkey Tail. A Spurge, this plant fares well in a variety of garden locations and also looks great in a container. The stacked geometric leaves will catch your eye, and pollinators will be drawn in, as well. A very nice addition to any garden.
