‘Diamond 'Frost’ Euphorbia in South Florida

I was at a local nursery a few weeks ago looking for something new. I asked for something that could be planted under large bushy oleander and can remain in the ground all year long. They told me to try ‘Diamond 'Frost’ Euphorbia. I guess it's a new dwarf variety. They said it will blooms all year long and will take full or part sun or even shade.


I'm always skeptical of flowering plants that can take full shade, so I asked more about it. It turns out that the little white flowers are not flowers at all. They are bracts and are simply white leaves. Ah hah! So, I did some more reseach and found a good article regarding ‘Diamond 'Frost’ Euphorbia by my buddy at The Universtity of Florida Extension Office. It sounds like growers and retailers alike are going to try to push this plant big-time this holiday season. It's in the poinsetta family, so I guess it's fitting.

  2. Euphorbia 'Diamond Frost'. Another Proven Winners selection, this is a very different look for a Euphorbia. I first saw one in a large container by itself and it was lovely with masses of tiny, white flowers that create a baby's breath effect. I like it in a mixed planter where it makes a nice contrast with larger-leaved plants. It grows about 18 inches tall and a foot wide and blooms nonstop.
