Euphorbia hypericifolia Diamond Snow - Spurge

Euphorbia 'Diamond Snow' or Chamaesyce hypericifolia, is an airy annual that branches indefinitely to provide volume in a floral composition.

This novelty naturally branches to form a round and compact habit. Its stems are thin and bear small leaves that are 2.5cm (1in) long and tender green in colour. The Euphorbia can reach a height of 35cm (13.8in). The countless flowers are double and pure white. They appear in mid-April and last until the frost. This plant has a strong flowering capacity and can bloom in both hot and rainy weather.

Euphorbia 'Diamond Snow' can be planted in pots, containers, hanging baskets, or directly in the ground. It prefers a sunny or semi-shaded exposure. This annual plant requires warmth; below 14°C (57°F), it will stop flowering and its leaves will start to turn yellow. Please note that it is not a hardy annual.

In summer, we recommend avoiding substrate drying and regularly applying a suitable fertilizer to promote the plant's growth and generous flowering.

Our advice: You can associate it with all summer-flowering annuals, as well as with perennials, as it doesn't mind competition. On the contrary, it intertwines with its neighbours to beautifully enhance them with its delicate white bracts.

Note: Please be aware that our plug plants are professional products intended for experienced gardeners: upon receipt, transplant and store them in a sheltered place (veranda, greenhouse, cold frame...) at a temperature above 14°C (57°F) for a few weeks before installing them outdoors once the risk of frost has definitively passed.
