Members OnlyWTEG
This tough Mediterranean herb forms a decorative carpet of felted silver leaves. During spring, furry green spikes of acid-yellow flowers appear. A perfect ground cover for any sun-baked spot. This variety hails from Crete and is known locally as Malotira where it is made into a tea said to be high in antioxidants.
