Nice photo! Should be considered more for containers; goes with everything.

Great photo Poppysue- tell me, is your plant bothered by catapelliars? No matter where I've lived I can't grow this due to the little buggers. Kristi

Really Kristi? I've never had any critter troubles on mine. Maybe I'm too far north??

One of the prettiest plantings I've seen was in front of a garden center. It was a mass planting of this silver helyichrysum and 'Homestead purple' verbena. The two looked really great together. I have a hard time finding the Homestead purple here since it's not hardy.

I first saw this by itself, it was in large black pots. What a stunner. The same time I got the idea to spray paint pots that were of a color I didn't care for.

Caterpillars ate mine too, but left enough for it to survive, thankfully!
