This eye-catching variety is prized for its shimmering, metallic foliage which brightens up shady corners of the garden. The leaves are a cool silver, overlaid with a complex network of burgundy veins and backed by a rich violet-purple underside. In late spring and summer, the plant produces tall, wiry stems topped with clouds of small, bell-shaped white flowers that hover high above the foliage mound. As autumn approaches, the silver leaves often take on a pink or purplish blush, providing ever-changing interest.
It is an excellent choice for edging paths, underplanting roses, or combining with dark-leaved plants like Ophiopogon for high contrast. It thrives in containers or borders. To ensure the plant establishes a strong root system, we recommend using Rootgrow when planting. To support vigorous root growth and maintain a robust clump, apply Levington Fish, Blood & Bone in early spring.
