    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Native to the Mediterranean coast, this night-scented member of the stock family bears striking, silvery-wavy, almost fern-shaped, deeply lobed leaves covered with a soft, white, fuzz. Growing to 2’ tall, it sent up spikes of pretty, single, four-petaled, lavender flowers with white centers. EASY & tough. Poorish soil is fine as long as there is drainage. Blooms March through June. TOLERANT of COASTAL CONDITIONS.
