    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    An excellent variegated selection from the UK that is a compact and shrubby little performer. Good foliage combining nicely with blues and purples and our local dark rockery rock. Pale showy heads of flowers are long-lasting and deer-proof. Remove spent flower stems. Drier, well-drained.
