Euphorbia 'Glacier Blue' | Variegated Evergreen Spurge | Blue Silver Foliage Perennial | Live 1 Gallon Plant | Drought Tolerant

Euphorbia characias 'Glacier Blue' is an eye-catching evergreen perennial prized for its elegant blue-gray foliage edged in creamy white. During cooler months, the foliage develops beautiful pink and red highlights, adding exceptional year-round interest to the landscape. In late winter through early summer, creamy flower bracts with subtle blue-gray tones emerge above the foliage, creating a striking display.

This drought-tolerant, low-maintenance perennial thrives in sunny borders, rock gardens, xeriscapes, and containers. Its architectural form, long-lasting foliage, and deer resistance make it a favorite for modern landscapes and Mediterranean-style gardens.
