I absolutely love this plant - the leaves are beautiful! The flowers however are profuse and go to seed readily. I had to work to keep up with them using shears.

Accidentally left this one outside this winter and the frost got it. I thought it was a goner, but it is making a nice comeback.

I am going to attempt to propagate via leaf cuttings soon and will post the results.

Interesting looking leaf form having basically three-sided leaves that look a bit like a spear or arrow tip. Leaves soft and rubbery with a white powder on them giving the leaves a bluish-silver appearance (pale green beneath the tomentum). Easy to grow plant in Southern California. Takes water, but doesn't need much. Profuse flowers that are not that attractive.
