BENEFITS
A paler-colored version of Blooms' famous 'Ruby Cluster'. Neat flower buds resemble tiny unopened peonies, gathered in intriguing clusters over woolly leaves.

BLOOM SEASON & HABIT
Cool, pale pink round flower buds form highly decorative clusters in late May-June, then open to stiff papery flowers through summer.

LOCATION
Full sun. USDA Hardiness Zones 8 to 10; AHS Heat Zones 12 to 1.

USE
A conversation piece anywhere in the garden or in a container. Soft woolly silver leaves are irresistible to touch.

SIZE
6" tall by 12" wide. Use 2 to 3 plants per square yard.

CULTURE
Requires porous soil with excellent drainage. Suffers if kept too moist. Cut back after flowering for attractive mounds of silver foliage.
