Gardening Tips

🦉 This ground cover is ideal for rock gardens and steep dry slopes as it thrives in well drained, dry soils.
🪴 It also looks quite dandy in a hanging basket as its foliage reflects the light and creates a curtain of soft silver.

The Botany


"Tomentose" means felt, referring to the soft hairs that cover the light grey foliage.
