The silver hairs that cover the top of the leaf give it a shiny or frosted appearance. Color becomes enhanced when the cool weather arrives. An oustanding accent for woodland gardens. Herbaceous perennial. Partial sun. Clumping, mounding foliage to 12 in. high, 18 in. wide; flower stems 30 in. tall.
