A very different perennial from New Zealand.

Has sword shaped, grey green but white beneath leaves up to 12 inches long, covered in soft, silvery hairs which give the plant a silver appearance. Bears daisy-rayed, white flowers with a yellow disc.

Flowers June-August

Likes a moist, well drained, neutral to slightly acid soil in full sun but will tolerate partial shade. Spreads by rhizomes where happy.

A great talking point or dot plant on a rock garden.
