Euryops acraeus

A fantastic leaf colour - bright, silvery-blue in summer, greyer in winter, but always attractive. It is a very dwarf, slow-growing shrub forming an even mound about 30cm (12") high and wide

As if the foliage wasn't enough, it produces bright yellow 'daisy' flowers in early summer which hang from thin stalks. It's a stunning combination and it's one of my favourite plants

Originates from South Africa but it is very hardy. Likes a well-drained soil and a sunny spot in the garden.
