What is this plant growing in my lawn?

[LizH88]

I have this growing in patches all over my lawn. Can anyone advise what it is? Thanks

Euphorbia.

I think, at least.

Yep

Is it a plant or a weed? I've been digging up my garden. I've been finding all sorts but decided to give it a break and see what's growing as I have a lot of stinging nettles

It's other name is sun spurge and it's a weed. It doesn't get much more attractive than in the pictures you posted. One for the compost heap I'm afraid.

If I remember correctly the sap can give you burns, so wear gloves if you're cutting/pulling it up.

Not really a weed in the right place, I thought.

It often grows with bluebells and its bright green sets off the blue beautifully.

I had no idea that euphorbia was recognised as a weed. I have it in my garden and it does spread, but I contain it to one bed.

There are many kinds of euphorbia. That one is definitely a weed!

Gulsink- the sap makes you more vulnerable to sunburn.
