WinkEuphorbia marginata snow on the mountain



Want some "Euphorbia marginata 'snow on the mountain' seeds or a couple of plants.

I am looking for the perennial plant that grows tall, not the annual groundcover plant.
I know they are invasive but I do love the plant.

Please check my trade list to see if we can make a deal .

Thanks,

Hello


Could you clarify a little further which one it is, because I have one or the other - and would be happy to include those in my package for you.
Mine has single leaves on a stalk sticking out of the ground.

Very nice, and no, that's not mine - so mine must be the "other one"

Muggyruggy had some she was wanting to get out of her yard cause it was invasive. I had asked for some, but was to warm to ship. Ya might check with her, but I don't know that she has been on puter lately?

oh gosh...I have tons and tons of the groundcover, but mine is perennial, comes back every year, is great because it fills in the back area that is mostly a big ditch. It is beautiful when it gets big and lush....grows quite high.

WinkThanks everyone


Thanks,

I will follow up on those leads for the plant.

There are 2 varieties of "Snow on the Mt.".

One is a annual which is used like a ground cover that reseeds itself, growing 18" tall.
The other is a per. which grows 2 to a full 3 feet tall.....it is the one 'Unicorn' has a link to a photo above. It is known to be invasive.
The per. one is what I am looking for,,,,,it looks great in cut flower arrangments.
I keep my beds under control so seedling and suckers of invasive's are delt with.

Thanks,

I checked out the plant that I told you about and it is loaded with seed, but they are still green. I will keep my eye on it.

WinkGreat




That is good news..... seeds ahould ripen soon.

I really appreciate you efforts. Look over my trade list and see what you want. I will have a larger variety of plants to trade about next June if you want plants instead of seeds.

Again thanks,
