The Breathless™ Euphorbias are perennial plants characterized by their dark green foliage, which features a striking hint of red. The variety 'Blush' showcases delicate light pink blooms, while 'White' boasts pure white flowers and robust, graceful branching. These versatile groundcovers can be planted in containers, at the front of borders, or in cottage and drought-resistant gardens. They are also suitable for indoor cultivation as houseplants. With minimal upkeep required, there's no need for deadheading to prolong their blooming period. To promote a fuller, bushier growth, especially when cultivated in pots, simply pinch back the stems.
