Annual
(usually grown as an annual near you)
Mounded in the Euphorbiaceae Family
A best-selling Proven Winners Euphorbia with airy clouds of tiny white flowers that bloom non-stop from spring to frost.
Diamond Frost ('Inneuphdia') is one of the original Proven Winners Euphorbia introductions, discovered as a branch mutation in Germany and prized for its airy, non-stop cloud of tiny white flowers from spring to frost. Its fine, wiry stems and small gray-green leaves give the whole plant a soft, baby's-breath-like texture that works equally well as a filler in mixed containers or massed in the garden. It's heat and drought tolerant once established and needs no deadheading to keep blooming all season. Like other spurges, its milky sap can irritate skin, so wear gloves when trimming it back.
Pros

Non-stop white blooms all season with no deadheading needed
Heat and drought tolerant; can even be grown as a houseplant
Cons
Won't thrive in full shade
Sap can be irritating to skin
This plant is probably not winter-hardy outdoors where you live.

We try very hard to source exactly what you’d like, but sometimes growers run out of plants! While this variety is a great deal at the price shown, we know that it has limited availability. If you want the plant even if it might be more expensive, or in a different size or quantity -- after you place your order, just send us a quick note at help@northshoreplantclub.com. Then, we’ll try to get you some version of this from one of our growers. And if we can’t get it from anywhere, of course, we’ll send a refund!
Field-Grown vs. Greenhouse-Grown Plants
Plants which are well-adapted to our local climate are most often field-grown (outside). Field-grown plants are generally cheaper and have the advantage of already somewhat acclimated to our cold winters, but that means they’re not artificially far along in the spring and tend to bloom at the normal time in our area.
Spring annuals and tender perennials are typically grown in Greenhouses so they can be ready and luxurious exactly when customers want them. Some perennials are also “forced” into early bloom in greenhouses. In May, there can be a very big difference between field-grown and greenhouse-grown plants of the same type. The latter typically look good right away (so they’re a great choice where that’s important), but we typically pay a premium for it.

We order from a rotating cast of the best nurseries in the Great Lakes region.
It looks like we've offered this plant in the past, but the nurseries we're working with this week don't appear to have it in stock at the moment.
Our goal is to bring as many plants together under "one roof" as possible, so we'll try hard to make it available again in the future!
