A wonderful plant for foliage, this plant will be a delight in your garden. The foliage is small and covered with deep brown indumentum on the underside of the leaf. When the new foliage comes out it is a beautiful white. Light pink to white flowers grace this superb plant from Warren Berg. This is a "must have" for the garden.
