Euphorbia fischeriana, commonly known as Fischer’s Spurge, is a deciduous herbaceous plant native to a variety of habitats including forest edges, grassland slopes, and river banks in Siberia, Mongolia, Northern China, and Korea. It typically grows to a height of 1.5-2.5 feet (0.46-0.76 meters) and a width of 1.5-2 feet (0.46-0.61 meters). The plant features lanceolate leaves and clusters of small, yellow-green flowers that bloom in the summer and are not particularly showy. The sap of Euphorbia fischeriana is toxic and can cause skin irritation.

Fischer’s Spurge is valued for its medicinal properties in traditional medicine and is sometimes used in ornamental plantings for its unique foliage and form. It requires full sun to part shade and prefers medium or fast-draining soils such as clay, loam, or sandy types. While it is drought-tolerant once established, it benefits from medium amounts of water. Gardeners should handle this plant with care due to its toxic sap and wear gloves to avoid skin irritation. It is potentially invasive in some regions, so it is crucial to check local guidelines before planting it outside its native range.CC BY-SA 4.0
