Attractive dark green, glossy foliage. Stems may need to be staked in summer. An outstanding cut flower. Plants prefer a site that will not dry out in summer, away from thirsty tree roots. One of the most outstanding silver-leaved perennials.
Plants form a low mound of large, velvety silver or grey-green leaves.
Versatile and vigorous, with many possible uses, as edging, groundcover, and most especially in tubs or mixed containers. Evergreen in mild winter regions. Tolerates heat and humidity. This selection forms a medium-sized clump of cascading green leaves, bearing very tall, arching stems of airy yellow flowers, almost like a fountain in effect. Flower stems are in nearly constant motion from even the slightest breeze.
