On Gardening: Diamond Snow euphorbia a garden game changer

Diamond Snow has dramatically changed how we look at euphorbias, that not-so-glamorous common name of spurge. We all fell madly in love with its sibling Diamond Frost and subsequently gave it hundreds of awards in university trials. Diamond Snow, however, is a game changer.

Although Diamond Snow has only been out two years, it is racking up pages of awards, such as Perfect Score All Season at Oklahoma State, Top Performer at Biltmore Estate and universities like Minnesota, Ohio State, Cornell, Delaware and Florida, just to name a few.

Why, you might ask? Well, the Diamond Snow blossoms are double. To the flower border, mixed container or basket, it is a choice, as the names suggest, frost or snow. Diamond Frost, the original, will always have a place, lending the artist touch to mixed plantings. It is like sprinkles, while Diamond Snow is a main course in your designs. It can get a "holy wow" alongside the most colorful begonia or petunia.
