    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Has foliage that looks somewhat like Magnolia grandiflora, but it has silver indumentum and tomentum. This evergreen shrub is probably zone 8 or 9. I have seen 3’ plants (rarely). The flowers are the real shocker! The white flowers in summer are perfect daisies. This plant is a member of compositae daisy family. Makes a fun and interesting container plant. Very rare!
