Many grey shrubs better known as Senecio have been renamed Brachyglottis. They are mostly evergreen, sun-loving shrubs from New Zealand, almost fully hardy except on wet or poorly drained soils. This cultivar is a fine bushy plant, spreading and slightly untidy if allowed to flower, but neat and suitable for making into low hedges if kept trimmed. Clipping prevents bare woody stems at the base, and encourages the young growth - this is very attractive, both stems and leaves are covered with white or silvery-grey felt that sparkles in the sun. The Royal Horticultural Society has given it its Award of Garden Merit (AGM).
