Plant details
This small plant makes low-spreading mounds of herbaceous foliage, that is semi-evergreen in sheltered sites or an alpine house. During summer, the plant is almost covered in light pink flowers with large, dominating apple-green bracts, gathered in nodding clusters. The foliage is an attractive shade of blue-grey, rounded or slightly heart-shaped, and very aromatic. It's an ideal choice for a warm, well-drained rock garden or alpine trough, or in a gravel scree garden, and excellent in pans under glass. Once established, plants dislike disturbance. The Royal Horticultural Society have given it their prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM).
