    The magnificent Silver Tree shimmers on a breezy day. I’d love to say this is great for every garden but in reality I grow this just long enough to ship it off to gardeners who live in more coastal areas. It’s relatively cold hardy but detests our summers with their hot, dry heat. It’s a shame really as the foliage is stunning in the garden, in a vase and wreaths.
