Euphorbia characias Glacier Blue

Euphorbia characias 'Glacier Blue' is an eye-catching, evergreen perennial known for its striking variegated foliage and architectural form. The leaves are bluish-green with creamy-white edges, providing year-round interest. In spring, it produces clusters of chartreuse flowers with a hint of purple, adding a splash of color to the garden.

To grow Euphorbia characias 'Glacier Blue,' plant it in a sunny to partially shaded location with well-draining soil. It is drought-tolerant once established, making it ideal for low-water-use gardens. Water regularly during the establishment period, but reduce watering once the plant matures. Avoid waterlogged conditions to prevent root rot. Mulching helps retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. This plant is low-maintenance but can benefit from pruning spent flower stems and any damaged foliage to maintain its shape and vigor.

'Glacier Blue' is perfect for borders, rock gardens, and containers, providing a striking visual contrast with its variegated foliage. Its drought tolerance and hardiness make it an excellent choice for sustainable and low-maintenance landscapes.
