    Hi, I am looking for seeds to an annual plant that I have seen in the Kootenays here in BC. It is in the poinsettia family and has white edged leaves. Instead of actual flowers it gets white bracts that look akin to poinsettia, but smaller. The plant grows up to 2 feet tall. I thought it was in the euphorbia family and have heard it called summer poinsettia. However when I check online under that label the plant I see there is nothing like the one I am looking for. Can anyone help me? Kady lady

    Thanks, but I know it is an annual because I once had some seeds and grew it -that was a few years ago. And I had constant comments on it. It readily reseeds. I'll keep trying. Thanks. Kady lady

    It would be Euphorbia marginata, that is what your description points to. Did you look at the pictures at the above link?
