Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Especially lovely planted in drifts, this is also choice as a specimen, groundcover or in a container. This 8-12" charmer from the mountains of British Columbia forms mounds of fine grassy foliage of downy-gray that is just gorgeous. This cultivar is showier still with its delightful ruby-tint in winter and spring. An exceptional plant that is so easy-care! S-PSh/M
