Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Seed grown from cultivated material ex Alplains, this form is a bit different from plants we have grown under this name in the past, rosettes of silvery green dissected foliage, clouds of white daisies; this has been a very easy plant and unlike so many silvery things quite melt resistant under wet conditions.

You might think a bunch of white daisies as rather ho-hum – well, then you would miss out on a totally dazzling show! Tough & easy (it’s a Tansy after all), it makes a silvery lacy mound up to 2’ tall and 30” across. So nice for foliar contrast! But when it blooms, dear gardeners, you’ll be astounded. Thousands of small white flowers form a carpet of blazing daisies for months. Bug proof, deer proof, drought tolerant & not fussy about soil, it’s fab bursting over the edge of a bed. Cut back to 3” tall after bloom for a second show. Matchy-matchy with white Roses. Self sows!
