Description of specimen

I have purchased a red purple leafy euphorbia from the store that very much resembles leafy spurge. t's my favorite plant. Should I be concerned?

Commentary

This sounds like a common ornamental Euphorbia and should not be a problem. However, Euphorbia's in general are aggressive plants if not actively managed and is something that you need to be aware of if you are not already.
