Something for each season, this 4-6'er has scalloped foliage which opens white felted before turning green, the better to complement large clusters of small yellow "daisies" summer into fall. Sun/Med-D/GdDrain

One of our absolute favorite 'ever-silver' shrubs! Glistening mounds of persistent, felted white foliage with fashionably 'crimped' edges…3' tall and eventually 4-5' wide (you can keep it smaller), looks great all year. A fine contrast for the shrub garden or the border – also keen in the Mediterranean Garden! Drought tolerant, deer resistant. Yellow daisies in summer (I remove them…but this a personal problem with yellow daisies on an otherwise dignified shrub). Easy, fast, fudge free! Rarely offered!
