Flowering Spurge (Euphorbia corollata)
Euphorbia corollata (Flowering Spurge) supports ecosystem health by providing early-season nectar and pollen for a range of native pollinators, including solitary bees and small butterflies especially the endangered Karner Blue Butterfly (Plebejus samuelis) who are hosted by Wild Lupine (Lupinus perennis) and favor the nectar of Flowering Spurge. This helps to sustain critical populations when other floral resources are scarce.
The deep, fibrous root system of Flowering Spurge stabilizes soils and reduces erosion on prairies, roadsides, and disturbed sites while improving soil structure and water infiltration. As a native, drought-tolerant species, it requires minimal supplemental water. Flowering Spurge also contributes to plant community diversity by occupying open, sunny niches without becoming aggressive, thereby enhancing habitat complexity and resilience against pests, diseases, and the impacts of climate variability.
The seed of Flowering Spurge is a favorite food of wild turkey, greater prairie-chicken, bobwhite quail, mourning dove, and the horned lark, supporting a variety of native game and songbirds.
