This is the plant after which the dreaded 'General Woundwort' of Watership Down was named...

An unusual plant that I have only seen offered once. It has a beautiful combination of flower and leaf and grows well in a container as well as in the open ground. The flower spikes rise from a more or less rosette of the attractive soft silvery leaves which are at their best in early summer. It continues to flower over a long period in good conditions. As with others in the genus, it has a tendency to sprawl - which can be an attractive feature if the plant is carefully placed.
