Grey-blue foliage highlighted with plum is the perfect backdrop for clusters of claret flowers in late summer...a lovely show; to 1' x 1', try it with Euphorbia ?Chameleon?. S/M-D/GDr

Superb hybrid with 1' arching stems cloaked in blue purple tinged rounded leaves, forming a nice, rounded clump of pouting plum hued foliage! Magenta rose flowers in late summer, early fall stand out against the leaves. Extremely fine in a pot where it can be admired close up…perfect for spilling from rock walls…also lovely front of border or rock garden. Full sun to very light shade, well drained soils.
