About this plant

A delightful herbaceous plant that has rounded leaves that have incised rounded edges. The surface is crinkled but there are silver hairs which give them a sheeny, silvered look. The leaves complement the lush rounded cup-shaped flowers that are coloured a rich golden yellow. It comes into flower in spring and the flowering season lasts for six to eight weeks. A good plant for a well-drained sunny position.
