Description
Eriophyllum lanatum
Height x Spread: 30cm x 60cm
Bright yellow daisy flowers adorn the top of this beautiful silver foliage plant.
This plant will thrive in hot and sunny borders and make good sized clumps. It looks surprisingly good as a companion plant to Allium cristophii , its silver foliage hides the unsightly lower leaves of the Allium as it comes into flower. If it gets a little bit untidy during the growing season just cut it back and it will regrow. It can be split in spring or autumn.
