    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Beautiful, white felted foliage appears almost engraved, creating a very pleasing texture in the garden! We would grow it for the leaves alone…but it has large lilac blue summers in profusion mid summer that 'glow' against the 18x24" mounds – Full sun to lt shd, decent soil – another Heronswood refugee.
