    If you’re inland (or not) and you’ve been seduced and betrayed by the shimmering-silver charms of Leucadendron argentuem one too many times, then here’s you solution. The foliage is just as soft, just as shimmery but without the attitude. Excellent as a screen or a filler in an arrangement, or just something to hug when you come home from a bad day at work.
