An herbaceous, evergreen, clumping perennial. Strappy glaucous foliage, hugs the ground in tight clumps, from these, erect stems arise, by late summer attaining a height of 2m plus, topped with large, branching, open heads of small, delicate, white, daisy flowers. A spectacular perennial if fed well, appearing like great white clouds hovering above the garden. Cut stems to the ground when spent. Do not smother while dormant.
