Product description
The “Glacier Blue” is an evergreen perennial that will add a year-round exotic touch to your drier garden beds. It is a columnar grower of a low to medium height.
The foliage is quite distinct with long, leaves that have the central-most portions in a deep green and framed by a creamy white fringe. The conical, pale-yellow flowers with bracts appear on top of a stalk that rises from the uppermost, central part of the plant.
After the regular growing season and to encourage the following seasons growth, it is suggested that the plant’s shoots be cut back to the ground.
As it is relatively compact, it makes a great garden patio and container plant. However, be aware that all parts of the plant are considered toxic if ingested.
It is somewhat hardy, down to -10°C, but can be used in pots or tubs and then more easily transferred indoors during the colder months. Although it does prefer full sun, it has been known to do well in sunnier areas that are partially shaded. And this plant does prefer to be sheltered.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
Wear gloves when handling Euphorbia, as the sap can cause skin irritation.
How to Water
Water Euphorbia moderately, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. They are drought-tolerant but benefit from consistent moisture during dry spells. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
How to Plant
Plant Euphorbia in well-draining soil in a sunny location. Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball, place the plant, and fill with soil. Water thoroughly after planting and space them properly to allow air circulation.
