Glacier Blue Spurge
Euphorbia characias ‘Glacier Blue’
1 quart pot
 
A striking and architectural evergreen perennial, Glacier Blue spurge is valued for its bold, upright form and distinctive blue-green foliage edged in creamy white. The variegated leaves create year-round interest, while in spring it produces clusters of chartreuse flower bracts that rise above the foliage, adding a fresh, luminous contrast. Its strong structure makes it an excellent focal point in borders, gravel gardens, and containers.
 
This is a tough and drought-tolerant plant once established, thriving in well-drained soil and sunny locations. It performs especially well in lean soils and requires minimal maintenance. Like many euphorbias, it is resistant to deer and rabbits and is well suited to low-water landscapes.
