Half-hardy Annual. This is an evergreen sub-shrub that is grown as an annual, grown for its striking silver foliage. It has finely divided, lacy leaves of whitened gray. Each plant forms a neat mound that is useful for providing color contrasts in bedding, container and edging designs. It is also nice in flower arrangements. Flower heads appear in the summer, but should be removed. Easy-to-grow, it tolerates practically any kind or weather - hot, cold, wet or dry.
