  • Question

    I have mats of this growing around my house. It likes to spread out onto patio stones and pavement. Is it Euphorbia maculata?

    Answer

    Dear jfc, yes, it does look like Euphorbia maculata. This is one of the more common species of sandmat in New England. They usually have red to purple blotches on the leaves, but this is not a constant. Best wishes.
