    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Gorgeous foliage! And flowers that aren’t too shabby either! This cutie is covered in wooly grey foliage that is hard to pass by without needing to pet it. The flowers are about an 1” wide & bright yellow & make a great contrast with the gray foliage. Growing 9” tall & 1’ wide (18” with blooms in Summer), it is native to Crete. Needs excellent drainage & does well as a rock garden plant or container plant.
