Euphorbia 'Silver Swan' 2L

Euphorbia ‘Silver Swan’ is a compact, evergreen euphorbia prized for its neat, variegated foliage and luminous spring bracts. Slender grey-green leaves with creamy-white margins form tidy clumps, while in spring upright stems carry showy, yellow‑green flowerheads that brighten sunny, well‑drained borders, gravel and Mediterranean‑style plantings. Grow in full sun to light shade in well‑drained, moderately fertile soil; once established it copes well with dry, sunny conditions. After flowering, cut spent stems back to the base to encourage fresh growth. Take care when pruning: the milky sap is an irritant; wear gloves and avoid contact with skin and eyes. Eventual size around 60–90cm.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
