Species from Portugal with silvery-downy leaves and pale-blushed white flowers, spotted on the throats. It may be a challenge to overwinter in our garden, since it's not as hardy as D. purpurea, and dislikes having wet feet in winter.

We left this plant behind in our Pennsylvania garden (and wish it well); we don't grow it in Houston. About my plant portraits
