Ladies and Gents,

Here is a wild form, flowers are slightly smaller than the cultivated form but still nice. Found it near the front harbour growing through boulders etc..

It has survived 2 winters covered with fleece, lovely silver leaves and it has formed a slow spreading mound.

I wish I could have got more photos but it seems to detect when rain is coming and the corolla's shut.

I have tried to recreate the conditions it would like in the wild as best as possible, if it was sunny there would have been lots more blooms.

A charming and easy species for the hot rockery..

Enjoy
