Nursery contributed plant descriptions

From the Canary Islands (home of many great Mediterranean climate plants), and endangered in the wild, comes this extremely attractive shrubby perennial. Wonderful, lacey, silvery & wooly foliage is densely held on stiff much-branched stem on the 3'x3' plant. Excellent for providing contrast in the garden, it is best suited to DRY situations and likes full sun and well-drained soil.
