Euphorbia ‘Diamond Frost’ is a tender perennial often grown in pot and container displays, either en masse for dramatic effect, or to complement other plants with its frothy foliage and flowers.
This reliable plant has an extremely long flowering period, lasting from late-spring until the first frosts of autumn. No deadheading is required either, and when temperatures rise, you’ll find it to be drought-tolerant.
For best results, grow Euphorbia ‘Diamond Frost’ in full sun or partial shade, in rich, moist, well-drained soil. Either treat it as an annual and compost when past its best, or overwinter by moving it to a bright, frost-free spot over winter.
