Euphorbia 'Diamond Frost', Chamaesyce hypericifolia 'Inneuphe', Euphorbia hypericifolia 'Inneuphdia'
Euphorbia hypericifolia 'Diamond Frost' is a tender evergreen perennial, usually grown as an annual, boasting a profusion of tiny white flowers reminiscent of baby’s breath from late spring to the first frosts. The upright stems are clad with widely spaced, narrow, gray-green to bright green leaves. Blooming continuously all season, this Euphorbia features a mounding habit and can be used as a filler in floral arrangements. While Diamond Frost might look delicate and frilly, it is actually tough as nails. Easy to grow, low care, heat and drought tolerant, disease resistant, it is a terrific addition to garden beds, containers and hanging baskets. Its small white flowers pair well with other flowering plants of almost any type or color
