Description

Plush ever-silver mats of gorgeous feathery foliage will thrive in dry gardens with good drainage, improving and spreading modestly through the years. Golden button flowers appear for a short time in summer. Introduced from Southeastern Turkey in the 1950’s by Peter Davis, this has become a quiet classic in the Denver area. Roll out the carpet – this time it’s silver!
