Tall shrub or small tree which has beautiful silver leaves
that are used by florists. The silver leaves are very rich in aromatic oil. The flowers are yellow and attract bees and others insects. The plant prefers well drained soils in hot to temperate climates. This plant grows in my garden more than twenty years and always I think that it is very attractive and very ornamental.
