A perennial cultivated for the silvery appearance of its leaves, which are densely covered with hairs! Ideal in flowerbeds, borders and edges due to its ornamental use, but also attractive to beekeepers as it attracts bees.
Plant about 30-40cm. Tomentose stems and beautiful mauve-pink flowers that are grouped in spikes. Oval green leaves, evergreen in warm climates and deciduous in cold climates. Very hardy and fast growing.
