Description

The Glamour Spurge (Euphorbia graminea) is an annual plant of infinite lightness which provides a very long, airy, and ethereal white flowering. Used in flowerbeds, as border plantings or in containers, it enhances all surrounding plants. Heat-resistant, almost maintenance-free and with very rapid growth, this highly 'glamorous' spurge establishes itself as a prime choice for all flower enthusiasts.

The Euphorbia graminea, commonly called grass-leaved spurge or graminaceous spurge, belongs to the Euphorbiaceae family. This species is native to tropical regions of America, extending from northern Mexico to northern South America. Botanically, the Euphorbia graminea is generally considered an annual plant although some sources indicate it may show slight perennial tendencies under favourable climatic conditions.
The 'Glamour' variety is a cultivar selected for its ornamental performance, introduced by PanAmerican Seed. It can easily be grown from seed, providing an economical alternative to varieties propagated by cuttings. The 'Glamour' exhibits vigorous growth, forming dense and uniform clumps with abundant flowering of small white blooms that give the plant an ethereal appearance. The plant reaches 30 to 80 cm in all directions. It consists of erect or ascending and ramified stems. The small leaves are narrow, linear to lanceolate, and measure 0.5 to 3 cm long and 0.3 to 2.5 cm wide. The inflorescences are cyathia, characteristic of the Euphorbia genus, appearing at stem tips or in branch axils. Each small cyathium consists of nectariferous glands surrounded by white bracts that resemble small flowers. Flowering extends from June to October. Pollination is carried out by insects. The leafy stems are destroyed by frost.

WARNING: like all spurges, this plant contains sticky and toxic latex when broken. It may cause skin irritation (sap), and is toxic if ingested (all parts of the plant are affected).

The Glamour Spurge provides the poetic touch that your summer borders and flowering pots are missing. Its light habit and ethereal flowering make it an excellent background or companion plant, perfect for softening volumes. In pots, it wonderfully plays refined counterpoints around more opulent flowers. Pair it for example with petunia 'Night Sky', featuring purple flowers speckled with white, with Calibrachoa 'Neo Double OrangeTastic' with double flowers in orange tones, or with Bidens 'Lemon Moon' in lemon yellow and white, which highlights the white delicacy of the spurge. In the garden as on the balcony, Glamour spurge brings an almost bridal freshness that soothes and structures any setting.

Planting and care

Sowing Euphorbia 'Glamour' is best done indoors, under heated cover, from late winter between February and April.
Sow the seeds on the surface of a special sowing substrate without covering them: they need light to germinate. Maintain a constant temperature between 20 and 22°C and regular humidity until germination, which usually occurs within 4 to 7 days.
Once the young plants are well developed, transplant them into individual pots and gradually acclimatise them outdoors before planting, in pots or in open ground, after the last frosts.

Cultivation: this euphorbia appreciates a sunny to partially shaded exposure and light, cool, but well-drained soil. It tolerates periods of drought once well established (in open ground), but will offer more generous flowering with moderate and regular watering. No need for pruning or staking: its naturally balanced habit is self-sufficient. Avoid excess nitrogen fertilisers which would promote foliage to the detriment of the flowers.
