Plant description
A small shrubby-perennial with erect stems and pretty, white, pea-like flowers flushed with pink. The flowers appear from late summer to early autumn and are followed by reddish-brown seed pods. As the name suggests, the leaves are covered with tiny hairs that give a silvery effect. Originally from the Mediterranean and Portugal, this evergreen plant can cope with drought once established and associates well with other silver-leaved plants. However, as it comes from much drier countries, it doesn't like being wet in winter.
