Euphorbia characias 'Silver Swan' is a striking evergreen perennial prized for its elegant variegated foliage and architectural form. The slender blue-green leaves are edged with creamy white, creating year-round interest, while impressive lime-green flower heads appear from late winter through spring. Drought tolerant and low maintenance, it is an excellent choice for feature planting, borders, Mediterranean-style gardens and containers.
