Aptly named, ‘Silver Mound’ has soft, feathery foliage and forms a compact, silky, cushion-like mound. It has many applications in the garden including: edging, rock gardens, pots, or a filler plant for hot, dry areas. It has long been one of the most popular silver foliage plants. Good plant for fronting burgundy foliage perennials or shrubs.
Placement in moist, well-drained, relatively infertile soils in full sun prevents excessive vertical vegetative growth, which will usually prevent the center of the foliage mound from unattractively opening up and separating by mid-Summer. Tolerant of poor soils, dry soils, heat, and drought. (Courtesy of Missouri Botanical Gardens Plant Finder)
