Light ShadeZone: 6-8, warmer on the west coast 20" tall Origin: Corsica
This stunning introduction from RD Plants of Devon, England, is a pewter-silver leaf selection of H. argutifolius, and thanks to tissue culture, there is no seedling variation. To lighten a woodland garden, I can't imagine a better choice! The 20" tall x 2' wide clumps (larger on the West Coast) are topped in late winter with stalks of green flowers, but with foliage like this, who cares? Even in colder zones where the plant is hardy but the leaves fry in winter, this would still be great for summer color. Good drainage and protection from winter sun in cold climates will keep the foliage looking better. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
