The Breathless™ Euphorbias are perennials with dark green leaves that have an interesting flush of red. 'Blush' has light pink flowers while 'White" has white flowers and strong elegant branching. Plant these groundcovers in containers, in border fronts, in cottage, or drought-tolerant gardens. They can even be grown indoors as houseplants. They are low maintenance and require no deadheading to enjoy a long bloom season. Pinch to encourage a bushy habit especially if they are grown in containers.
