Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Given to us long ago by a Japanese collector, this beautiful membeer of the South Arican genus grows to 6” with gray-green leaves brushed pearly white. Slow growing but special. Frost hardy to the low 20s of upper teens, but best as a protected pot plant. For sun, greety soil and winter dry.
