My White Elephant

My white elephant
I was browsing around a garden centre the other day and came across what I thought was a gem. I have accumulated quite a collection of Euphorbias over the years and there in front of me was one I hadn't got. As it in no way resembled anything I have I purchased it the name being Euphorbia Diamond Frost. It resembles a Jasmine with tiny white flowers. Heres the crunch, looking it up I find to my horror it is a tender perinnual or can be used as an annual. Has anyone managed to over winter this choice little plant?

 

Hi seeker, I never heard of this plant but the name was so pretty that I googled and came up with this.

Pretty plant - I've put in in my notebook.

What is "baby's breath" that's referred to in the article?

 

I quite fancy one of those Euphorbias and it would probably be a perennail here.

OogieBoogie, baby's breath is Gypsophilia, the lovely billowy shrub which comes in white or pink. I've tried twice with it here and can't get it to grow ... actually, come to think of it, I had no luck with it in Bucks either! :rolleyes:
