Lovely Silver Plant really stands out amongst other plants.
Silver Nugget - Leucophyta brownii
These two are in my garden.
Ornamental silver foliage plant extremely hardy in coastal locations. Excellent for defining edges of paths, borders, verges, roundabouts and nature strips.
The plants reflect light very strongly, providing great contrast against other vegetation due to their silver colour. Consequently they are often used to define walking paths in coastal areas, because they are easily seen at night.
A dwarf shrub that grows up to 1 metre in height, and has a very compact, rounded habit. The plant has scale-like leaves that lie against stems lined with woolly hairs.
Yellow button-like heads flower from late spring to summer and are pollinated by various insects.
Their habit is also effective for growing a low hedge. They will thrive in nutrient-poor soil and do not need fertiliser.
Seek it out for your garden. You will not be disappointed.
