Euphorbia characias - commonly called Mediterranean spurge - is a ripper plant for many Aussie gardens as it copes with cold and heat, sun and dry spells, and poor light sandy soils.

Glacier Blue lifts that up a step or three, with beautiful blue-green leaves edged in creamy white. It's evergreen to give you colour all year round, and very low maintenance.

We love Glacier Blue for its year-round colour, tough resilience, low maintenance
