This would still be a garden gem just for its leaves, which are long and narrow and arranged around the stems like the ribs of an umbrella. New growth is covered with white tomentum and the plant habit is dense and rounded. Flowers are pink turning white and held in a compact truss. This species does well in the Northeast.
Even if grown only for its leaves, this plant would still be a garden prize. The indumented leaves are lanceolate, long and narrow, and arranged around the stems like the ribs of an umbrella. The new growth is covered with white tomentum and the plant habit is dense and rounded. The early blooming flowers are pink or rose pink which fade to white and are held in a compact truss. The overall effect is quite pleasing. This is a hardy species that does well in the Northeast.
