Question
Hello from Atco, NJ. I have this ground cover coming up in my flower bed around my succulents. Not sure if it came with them or if it’s from the many birds we have in our area. However I’m growing quite fond of it would like to know what it is? TIA!!!
Answer
Dear Cole214, good morning. You have photographed a species of Euphorbia (spurges), specifically, a species of sandmat (a group that has been placed in its own genus as Chamnaesyce). I can't tell you exactly which species you have photographed without images of the ovary or fruit. However, it is likely Euphorbia maculata (spotted sandmat), a common species within the genus. Best wishes.
