Moderately fast-growing woody perennial to 2-3’ tall x 3-4’ wide. One of the finest selections for providing a color contrast to green-colored shrubs and perennials, this attractive variety forms a spreading mound of soft, feathery, silvery-gray foliage that is relatively heat and humidity-tolerant despite its soft appearance. The inconspicuous flowers of this variety seldom ever appear and are best removed to help maintain a tidy appearance. Yearly pruning will also help promote a more attractive and compact-looking planting. Well-suited in beds and borders as a slope planting or mass-planted ground cover. It also performs well in containers. This grateful variety requires well-drained soil and moderate to little water once established. Thrives in full sun exposure.
