Variegated Japanese Spurge is a shade-loving evergreen herbaceous perennial with dense carpeting whorls of foliage often used as a groundcover. Its glossy leaves are grey green to dark green foliage with irregular creamy margins. Tiny non-showy white flowers bloom on terminal spikes in early spring. Exceptional performance in deep shade and rich acidic soils.
