In late summer and autumn, and sometimes in spring, it sends up white daisies about the size of a 10 cent coin. It comes from rock faces and stony ground where winters drop to -10°C and summers are hot and windy, so it is a plant for the toughest spots in the garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy you'll love it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSilver foliage all year.\u003c\/strong\u003e New shoots carry fine hairs that give the mat a silvery look, a cool contrast to green plants nearby.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTough in extremes.\u003c\/strong\u003e It tolerates drought, seasonal wet, cold and heat, and its home range drops to -10°C in winter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrows between rocks and pavers.\u003c\/strong\u003e Given good drainage, it will grow in the gaps between rocks or pavers, which suits rockeries and stone paths.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuits poor, dry soil.\u003c\/strong\u003e Poor, dry soils and exposed spots with strong winds are where it does best.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhite daisies late in the season.\u003c\/strong\u003e Flowers arrive in summer and autumn, when many beds are past their best.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it works best\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRockeries and stone paths.\u003c\/strong\u003e Plant it among rocks or between pavers, where the mat softens hard edges.

It also comes in 200mm pots in packs of 6. Both sizes arrive as small, silver-leaved plants that spread into a mat over the first season. The 200mm pots give faster cover for a rockery or a run of paving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause Silver Cloud Eumorphia tube stock comes from our grower, it is not always available, and the tube shows as sold out whenever the grower has none.
