Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A spreading perennial or subshrub to 3' tall and wide, with lush, velvety foliage and a strong habit. Silvery hairs cover the rigid branches and large ovate leaves, creating a highly "touchable" effect. Pale blue-white flowers appear in a 12" raceme, but provide less interest than the striking foliage. Plant in full sun near the coast and partial shade inland, and provide regular garden water during the growing season. The bold gray form is a good choice for containers or perennial borders. Plants are completely deciduous in areas with frost. Hardy to 25F. Australia.
