Moonlighting!

By day silvery leaves stand out gently between all the different shades of green. But when illuminated by only the light of the moon, they create a magical lustre…

A GALLERY OF SILVERS

Lavandula stoechas ‘Silver Anouk’

Outstanding silver-white foliage with a blue cast.

Fragrant dark violet flowers topped with lavender bracts or petals in spring – reblooming in other seasons.

Sprightly upright growth habit (46cm x 36cm).

Use in borders, as a low hedge or plant your ‘Silver Anouk’ in a pot.

Lychnis coronaria (rose campion)

Perennial or biennial grown for both its silvery-grey velvety leaves and a profusion of flowers in spring and summer.

Clump-forming with ovate, densely woolly leaves.

Perfect for mass planting in a border.

Size approximately 80cm x 45cm.

Podalyria sericea (silver sweet pea bush)

Very decorative but unfortunately vulnerable indigenous shrub.

The soft evergreen, silky, silver-grey foliage gives the whole plant a shiny lustre.

Pretty pink pea-like flowers appear in winter and are followed by swollen velvety seed pods.

Growth habit is rounded and neat (1m x 1m).
