    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    A chance seedling proved to be a very superior performer! Very BLUE leaves are tough and leathery…our slugs ignore them. Forms a 18-24” mound of beautiful leaves and has very choice cream flowers too. This seedling has displayed good drought tolerance and has been very tolerant of the morning sun.
