DESCRIPTION

A gorgeous, low-maintenance shrub featuring showstopping foliage, Strobilanthes Gossypinus- Pewter Bush (Strobilanthes gossypinus) is a rounded shrub that is grown for the unusual colour and texture of its leaves. This beautiful perennial shows off dark green leaves that are covered with eye catching silvery golden hairs, making them appear to be made of a divine plush material. as foliage ages the hairs become less visible allowing the deep green foliage colour to shine through.
Flowers appear in spikes or clusters, and whilst they are showy, the main appeal of this shrub is the beautiful foliage.

Preferring a partly shaded position, this Strobilanthes will cope with morning sun, however the afternoon sun is likely to damage the beautiful foliage. Reasonably drought tolerant, for best results we recommend watering during dry spells.
A well drained soil is best, and it will cope with a sheltered coastal position.
