Ferny gray-green foliage on stems covered in silver bloom. I first saw this plant on a tour of a friend's garden. After I expressed my admiration of the unusual specimen, she surprised me with a division. I haven't yet seen the small purplish flowers.

In our garden, this plant grows in the following areas: back yard island, vegetable garden
