10 Seeds Fire-on-the-Mountain Euphorbia marginata Heirloom Wildflower

Fire-on-the-Mountain is an easy-to-grow annual wildflower known for its striking variegated foliage. Its upper leaves are outlined in white, creating a frosted look that adds bright contrast to beds, borders, and wildflower meadows. This heirloom favorite is valued for its unusual coloring and its ability to self-sow in the landscape.

The plants form upright, bushy stems with small white flowers that bloom from summer into early fall. Because the milky sap can be irritating, handle with care and keep away from eyes. It works well as a filler in cottage gardens and wildflower plantings where its pale variegation stands out against darker foliage.
