Description

This is a superlative foliage plant with elephant ear leaves covered with long, silky white hairs. The white, helmet-shaped flowers are produced on candelabra-like stems in early summer. This is a dramatic accent plant for the water-smart garden or perennial border, originating in the eastern Mediterranean region. Perennial. Xeriscape.
