Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Large heads of sunshine yellow flowers. The very flat, silver leaves are held edge on and have an interesting, not unpleasant, aroma when crushed. Slower growing than most it still forms splendid clumps, standing out amongst it's peers because of it's extra height. Capable of surviving extended dry periods, but don't expect it to flower while such conditions prevail.
