In the first year, it features a basal rosette of succulent, finely-dissected, fern-like, silver-gray foliage that rises to 12-18″ tall and as wide. In the second year, large 5″ umbels of pale pink flowers bloom in mid-summer atop thick gray-green stems that rise above the foliage to 2-3′ tall. Flowers fade to white as they age. Easily grown in average, dry to medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun. Tolerates some light shade. Performs well in sandy soils. Drought tolerant. Photo courtesy of Jelitto.
