    FGMs are the only ground cover over the winter in that spot.They look good over a long period, with judicious weeding out.  So, they stay. The spurge is in the wrong place and the bed is used by children, I may pot it up and give it away.

    Looks like a native caper spurge, Euphorbia lathyris. They're biennial.  I weeed most of mine out but always leave a few to grow in my garden every year because I like the way they look.

    Euphorbia lathyris has a clear, white central vein and a different growth pattern to the leaves, I would say. It looks "spiker". But mine may be just a young specimen.

    I think that my original seedling (top of the thread) is a child of this plant in a nearby garden. Any ideas which kind or group of euphorbia?
