Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Forming a dense mat of fuzzy grey-green foliage topped by lavender, yellow-eyed ?daisies? in spring, this eastern wildflower is incredibly adaptable to challenging conditions. S/M-D/GDr
This outstanding form of E. pulchellus was selected for its relatively large grey-green, pubescent foliage (4"), dense, mat-forming habit and astonishing ability to thrive in a wide range of challenging conditions. In early May, individual flower stalks give rise to lightly tinted lavender flowers with a yellow inner eye. Foliage remains less than 6" and forms a tight groundcover, while flowering stems top out at just over a foot tall.
