{"product_id":"glacier-blue-spurge-euphorbia-characias-glacier-blue","title":"Glacier Blue Spurge - Euphorbia characias 'Glacier Blue'","description":"\u003cp\u003eEuphorbia characias 'Glacier Blue' is one of the most architecturally striking foliage plants available for contemporary Australian gardens. The long, narrow leaves display a beautiful blue-white variegation that gives the plant an almost frosted, glacial quality, creating a cool and sophisticated colour effect that is genuinely unusual in the garden palette. In spring the plant produces its distinctive green and cream flower heads in upright clusters above the foliage, adding a further layer of structural interest to an already highly ornamental plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrowing to approximately 40 to 60cm tall and 60 to 75cm wide with a dense, upright habit, 'Glacier Blue' is a compact and well-proportioned shrub that works beautifully as a feature specimen, in mixed borders, rockeries, and containers, and in mass planting schemes where the blue-white foliage creates a cohesive and striking low-water planting. The unusual structure and striking variegated foliage make it an eye-catching addition to any garden design, and it is particularly effective in contemporary and minimalist garden settings where its architectural quality can be fully appreciated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHighly drought, frost, and wind tolerant once established, 'Glacier Blue' is a genuinely tough and low maintenance plant that thrives in well-drained soil with an annual slow-release fertiliser. Generally trouble free and fast growing, it is one of the best compact variegated foliage shrubs available for adding bold structural interest and a cool blue-white colour accent to low water and coastal garden designs across southern Australia. Note: as with all Euphorbias, the milky sap can cause skin and eye irritation wear gloves when pruning or handling.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Plant Nest","offers":[{"title":"14cm","offer_id":46524018426017,"sku":"Glacier Blue Spurge - Euphorbia characias 'Glacier Blue' - 14cm","price":16.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"17cm","offer_id":46524018458785,"sku":"Glacier Blue Spurge - Euphorbia characias 'Glacier Blue' - 17cm","price":25.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0663\/9711\/0433\/files\/2_3644afb1-ace5-493d-ba72-2a808bba4997.png?v=1780983619","url":"https:\/\/www.plantnest.com.au\/products\/glacier-blue-spurge-euphorbia-characias-glacier-blue","provider":"Plant Nest | Trees, Hedging Plants \u0026 Garden Inspiration","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
