    A dense, low growing, evergreen shrub. An ideal ground cover, or filler in potted gardens, it's silvery grey felt-like leaves make it an attractive foil for other plants. Bears sprays of small insignificant white flowers in summer. Extremely tough and vigorous. Essentially a much smaller leaved and compact form of H. petiolare.
