  • Description

  • Notes

'Seafoam' is a textural dream come true, and makes 'Silvermound' look, well, pedestrian. It has an abundance of frothy, curled silver foliage that grows in a compact mound about 8 inches tall and 24 inches wide. It will will occasionally bloom with attractive silver and yellow flower spikes. The perennial is less branched, with individual stems being more distinct, giving it a sort of sea-creature appearance.
