Plant uses

A terrific plant for edging garden borders particularly as it maintains interest with its silver foliage through the winter months when many perennials are dormant. Makes an attractive low hedge to line driveways or front fences/walls. Suited to Mediterranean, cottage or 'white' gardens. Use groups of two to three plants to create drifts in garden beds to tone down the effects of bright/hot colour schemes or to give a lift to pastel schemes.

Cultural care

C. 'Silvery Moon' performs best in full sun with well drained soil. Although dry tolerant once established it is still recommended to give occasional deep waterings through extended dry periods. Pruning is not necessary although a light prune after main flowering period (ie. early autumn) can help promote vigour and maintain a neat shape. An application of slow release fertiliser during spring will be beneficial to overall performance.
