Olearia virgata var. lineata “Dartonii”

Olearia virgata var. lineata “Dartonii” suffers with its name, but is a worthwhile plant. It is a vigorous, with fine, silvery foliage and would be good at the back of a border to set off brightly coloured flowers. It is tolerant of hard pruning so won’t get too big. A good alternative to Salix exigua – it has the silveriness without being a willow. Completely hardy and clay tolerant.
