Diamond Frost Euphorbia is a compact herbaceous summer annual that grows in open mounds. The fine foliage grows in whorls with matte green leaves. A large inflorescence of airy white flowers blooms continuously from spring to fall, attracting bees and butterflies. Best shape in full sun and dry, well-drained soils. Good drought tolerance. While less toxic than other varieties, broken stems have a milky white sap that can cause significant skin irritation if allergic to latex.
