Years ago, a friend who owned a nursery gave this beautiful plant he called “Snow on The Mountain” I have no ide what the originla name of it is. Its a tall green plant with white tips on the leaves. I havent been able to find it anywhere. Does anyone know or heard of this?

Before you purchase Snow on the mountain at a nursery, you should know the following:
There are 2 kinds of plants called ’snow on the mountain’-euphorbia marginata and aegopodium podagraria.
Euphorbia is of the poinsettia family. All parts of this plant are poisonous if ingested. Handling the plant may cause skin irritation or an allergic reaction similar to that seen with poison ivy. It is an annual that self sows. It is variegated.(has green and white leaves).
Aegopodium is a ground cover which also has white tallish flowers in the summer. The leaves are variegated. It is perennial, drought tolerant and extremely invasive. I, personally, would NEVER plant this in a garden. It takes over very quickly. The perfect place, I think, for this plant is under a planting of trees (especially evergreens). It brightens up the whole area. If anyone wants to know how to get rid of it, killex will be your friend. Make sure not to get any over-spray on any other plants though. (A trick for doing this is to cut out the bottom of a plastic pot. Place the pot over the plants you want to kill and spray inside the pot. This contains the spray and there will be no overspray.)
