Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A silvery furred beauty; it is a kinky Pussy Toe with whip like stolons. This may be gaspensis, at the very least it will make you gasp, or possibly moan, with its purple based white tipped female capitula, complete with crimson styles; lots of pleasure and little chance of cat scratch fever..
