Origin

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.

Care Instructions

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.
