Garden centre to-day.

Been to the garden centre today,got some stuff for winter hanging baskets.
Here they are,does anyone know what the grey bushy plant is?I didn't 'till to-day....not sure how hardy it is,the books are contradictory,so fingers crossed.

 

Not sure of the name of the grey plant but did remind me on the smell of a curry.

Roders you have got a nice selection there.

 

Hi Scotkat.........Thanks,
but no it's not the curry plant.

 

looks a bit like Cineraria(sp?)

 

No Terrier........ It's not that common.But I see what you mean.

 

Dont think it is the Cineraria.

 

Santolina?

 

Had I not known Pete, I might have said that,but no.

 

I would have gone for the curry plant also, but is it a Brassica oleracea 'White Peacock', per chance? If so, they are edible but bitter. :eek:

Looks like a nice collection and look forward to seeing it planted and progressing through the winter.

 

I look forward to the planting. Looking good

 

Thanks.
No not a brassica.
For two clients,not for me.

 

So what is it??
Is this interesting foliage plant so obscure.
There is a small clue.

 

Good Morning Roders I saw this in Dobbies yesterday but did not look at the name.

I sure that was the plant that had a curry smell when I walked past.

Give us another clue please.

Could this be your plant Roders.

 

Looks like Calocephalus to me, (also known as Leucophyta. The Cushion Bush comes from Australia, and is of borderline hardyness. Very pretty though.
