PLANT PROFILE
Euphorbia 'Silver Swan'is a striking architectual delight. Its variegated foliage of grey-green is highlighted with silvery edging year round.

This is a variety that will add structure and interest in any setting. A sure show stopper.

From late winter through to spring, 'Silver Swan' displays spikes of creamy coloured flowers.

Evergreen and hardy, without any special needs.

'Silver Swan' looks very effective large tubs and containers. It will thrive in hot, dry conditions on patios and decks providing structure and interest for modern entertainment areas.

This is the landscapers choice for adding foliage interest to garden beds, particularly in warm, dry climates.

A smart choice to add to mediterranean inspired gardens and gravel style landscapes.

A hardy variety, also suitable for coastal zones.

CULTURAL CARE
Low water requirements. 'Silver Swan' is dry tolerant once established.

Plant in most soil types that have good drainage. Euphorbias do not like wet feet.

Feed in spring with a slow release fertiliser for optimum results

Pruning generally not required although cutting back spent flower stems to base will encourage a bushier habit. Take care to avoid skin contact with the milky sap as it can be irritating to some - wear gloves and dispose of cuttings.
