Euphorbia Diamond Frost

Euphorbia Diamond Frost in a pot, solo.

* Common name: Euphorbia Diamond Frost(TM)

* Botanical name: Euphorbia ‘Inneuphdia’

* What it is: An eye-grabbing annual flower that grows in a mound with dainty white, babys-breath-like flowers that practically cover it all growing season. Looks like a giant airy snowball.

* Size: 16 to 20 inches tall and wide

* Where to use: Best by itself in a pot but also can be spotted throughout any sunny or partly sunny garden.

* Care: Grows best in damp, loose and rich soil. Fertilize every week or so with a high-phosphorus fertilizer to maximize blooms, especially in pots. Snip back at season’s end and use inside as a pot plant by a sunny window. Very bug- and disease-resistant.

* Great partner: So showy that it needs none. But looks good paired with purple or dark-pink annual flowers, such as blue salvia or petunia ‘Blue Wave’ or ‘Supertunia Vista Bubblegum.’
