yew-FOR-bee-ah gram-IN-ee-ah 'Glitz'

A compact, seed-grown spurge that self-branches into a dense mound of tiny white flowers resembling baby's breath, blooming from late spring until frost with no pinching needed.

About Annual Euphorbia

Looking for a unique and fun filler for your container or hanging basket?  You found her right here!

Delicate white flowers on thin green stems create puffy persistent clouds of blooms throughout the summer and into the fall.

Be careful! The same milky sap that makes this plant deer and rabbit resistant is also an irritant on human skin, so wear gloves if trimming this interesting and resilient plant back.

Pros

  • Loads of white clouds of flowers
  • Very low maintenance, self-branching habit needs no pinching
  • Deer and rabbit resistant

Cons

  • Won't thrive in full shade
  • Sap can be irritating to skin and eyes
  • Needs sharp drainage; dislikes standing water
Highlights
  • Euphorbia graminea 'Glitz', a seed-grown F1 alternative to vegetatively-propagated white spurges like Diamond Frost
  • Dense, self-branching mound needs no pinching or deadheading
  • Continuous froth of small white flowers from late spring until frost

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!
