Unique trailing foliage with vibrant lime-green spring flowers.

In late winter and spring, striking lime-green flower bracts emerge, creating a spectacular contrast against the glaucous foliage. Tough, drought tolerant and exceptionally low maintenance, it is ideal for rockeries, coastal gardens, pots and waterwise landscapes.
