    Foliage, foliage, foliage! This silver variegated ferny, clumping perennial is a standout on a partly shaded part of the garden. And if that’s not enough...light blue spikes of flowers late spring and early summer shimmer over that gaw-jee-us foliage! 18” tall x 24” wide; fertile, moist but well drained soils. Also performs admirably in a container. USDA Z4 4” pot
