Euphorbia marginata 'Summer Icicle' is a highly versatile, ornamental plant and a great garden performer. Summer Icicle is a dwarf plant growing to 45cm (18in), the pale green leaves become delicately variegated very soon after planting outdoors and are topped by curious small florets.

Summer Icicle adds wonderful contrast to bright summer bedding and container displays and is at home in the border where it performs well in hot and dry soils. The flowers (actually inflorescences and their showy bracts) form small white cups, known as cyathia, at the top and centre of the plant. It is top branching so ideal for use as a cut flower.
