Story
Diamond Frost
has won many awards World Wide for versatility and performance. As
Diamond Frost
is almost always in flower the plant is ideal among the low growing border of your garden bed in high profile areas.
NOT AVAILABLE IN W.A.
• Large decorator pots in courtyards and patios alone or in combinations.
• Garden planting in full sun to semi shade.
• Combination plantings – a winner.
• Larger hanging baskets either alone or in combinations – best in semi shade.
• In large pots on patios, terraces and balconies.
• Ideal edging plant as a low informal flowering hedge.
• Shelter from heavy frosts.
After care is really minimal. We have not seen any problems with insect pests or other diseases. Fertiliser, as slow release, organic or liquid should be applied three to four times a year. Pruning if needed can be done at any time but is best done in the warmer months. Up to three quarters of the plant’s height and width can be removed, the base will soon regrow and flower immediately on the new growth. In garden beds mulching to conserve water is beneficial. Take care that the mulch is not placed close to the main stem of the plant. Shelter from heavy frosts.
The parents of
Euphorbia
Diamond Frost
grow in nature through Mexico and into Guatemala. The selection
Diamond Frost
comes from a breeding programme in Europe and Japan. It was chosen for its year round flowering, near sterility and compact growth habit. It does well in sunny gardens.

Euphorbia
‘Diamond Frost’
. Now there is another
Euphorbia
called
‘Diamond Dazzler’
. It is a beauty. In sheltered positions protected from cool winds it flowers 24/7 every day of the year just like
‘Diamond Frost’
. How is it different? The flowers are fully double, it is very compact hugging the rims of any pots it is grown in and it is fully white. Grown as a specimen plant in pots up to 250mm in diameter it does well. As with
