Euphorbia amygdaloides subsp. robbiae, commonly known as Wood Spurge, is an evergreen subshrub that is native to woodland areas, forest understories, and rocky sites in parts of Southeast Europe and the Middle East, including Turkey. It typically grows to a height of 1-2 feet and a width of 2-3 feet. This plant is characterized by its rosettes of dark green leaves and heads of yellow-green flowers that appear in the spring. The flowers are not particularly showy, but they do add a subtle charm to the garden. The foliage remains attractive throughout the year.

Wood Spurge is valued for its ability to thrive in dry shade, making it an excellent ground cover for challenging areas under trees where other plants might struggle. It is also used in border plantings and woodland gardens. In cultivation, it prefers partial to full shade, well-drained soil, and requires little maintenance once established. It is drought-tolerant and generally pest-free, although it can be susceptible to leaf spot. Gardeners should handle this plant with care, as its sap can cause skin irritation. It is important to note that Euphorbia amygdaloides var. robbiae can be potentially invasive in some regions, so it is advised to check local guidelines before planting it outside of its native range.CC BY-SA 4.0
