    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    A large architectural plant that has large leaves with a silvery cast and upright tresses of pink bristly seed pods that follow the small flowers. Quick growing in warm summer weather, it makes the focal point of an island bed, perhaps encircled with caladiums and coleus, a favored treatment in Victorian times. Seeds extremely toxic, keep away from children and pets at all times.
