Snow On The Mountain (Euphorbia Marginata Early Snow) - Grow Euphorbia seeds for some wonderful, showy color in late summer and fall.

The Euphorbia flowers form small white cups at the top and center of the plant with white and green bracts providing the coloring. Grow Snow on the Mountain with other late season flowers like dahlias and mums. These Euphorbia flowers are good for cutting and have a long-life in the vase, but the stems need to be seared to take in water.
