Hardiness: frost hardy (may need winter protection)
A striking foliage plant that has pulled in lots of awards. Its large, silvery white leaves have a soft, downy texture, which makes it ideal for a sensory garden, but it will also make an eye-catching feature for a border or pot where it will thrive in a hot, sunny spot. It quickly forms a good-sized clump and will become tolerant of drought once established. It also tolerates salt-laden winds, so will flourish in a coastal setting, however it tends to be relatively short-lived.
Garden care: To avoid rot, avoid excessively moist soil (particularly in winter) and it move to a more sheltered spot when temperatures dip below -8 to -10C.
