Topic: Dwarf Milkwort


  
 Ketzel Levine's Talking Plants
Well my OED (Oxford English Dictionary) says that milkwort was 'formerly supposed to increase the milk of nurses.' Under 'Polygala' there's a 1661 notation saying that it causes 'the cattle to give abundance thereof.'
Even if the nurseries were chock-full of these milkworts, few gardeners would be browsing the tables to see them.
Yet plant these box-woodlike bushlets in a conspicuous place where their fanciful blossoms can be seen -- whether at the edge of a shrub border, beneath dwarf rhodies, or mixed with edging along the front walk -- and you're likely to be asked their story.

 Paghat's Garden: Euphorbia cyparissias 'Fen's Ruby'
It transplants super-easily & any seedlings that pop up around the edges of a clump or colony can be potted & given to friends.
Like other euphorbias, 'Fen's Ruby' bleeds a white latex that lends the whole genus the common names Wolf's Milk or Milkwort.
This sap is very caustic, & the plant should be handled with care, with hands washed afterward in order to guard against accidental injury to the eyes.
