A selected strain with showy blue-grey stems, leaves and bristly summer flowers, a little shorter than the species to 1.2m. Ordinary soil in full sun, good in autumn and winter.

The best colour likely to be when grown in slightly drier soils but still good in better soils when the plant will grow more lushly - a balancing act!
