Category: Plants

Useful in any garden, the dense, felted, silver-grey leaves are the perfect complement to pastel plantings, grasses and other perennials. A lovely evergreen mounding shrub, valued for its compact size, this dwarf ballota is less sprawling than its relatives and provides foreground structure all year round. Grown primarily for its foliage, the small pink and white flowers appearing in summer can be removed. Suits containers, rockeries and a front of border position where this dry-tolerant, easy care perennial will thrive on neglect.

Daniel ★★★★★

The felted silver-grey leaves are even softer and more dense than I expected from the description, and the compact mounding habit fits perfectly in the front of my border.

Zoe W. ★★★★★

I was worried it might get too big for my front border, but this compact mounding shrub stays neat and tidy. The soft, silver-grey foliage creates a lovely contrast against my purple salvia, and it’s held up well through a few light frosts.

Timothy ★★★★★

I was looking for something compact to fill a gap in my border, and the dense, felted leaves on this mounding shrub are exactly what I needed. The silver-grey really brightens up the area next to my green grasses.
