About this plant
This is a vigorous carpeting plant which has lovely dull grey green foliage with silvery markings. The foliage is especially beautiful in winter and spring where the colours emphatically catch the eye. Spring also brings its attractive creamy yellow flowers. During summer it has a tendency to smother other small plants. So place it where it can expand. It is great at the bottom of walls and fences and as an intermediary between the wild and the ordered garden. The plant stands around 20cm (8in) high with a far greater spread. It is happiest in a partly or lightly shaded site.

Autumn · Planting
Remove offsets to create new plants
Offsets are small plants or shoots that develop around the parent plant. They should have developed a root system of their own before they are detached. They can be planted directly, or grown in pots if so small they could be 'lost' in the garden.

Spring-Autumn · Outdoors
Water in dry periods
Established plants in the ground can cope with 7-10 days of dryness, and shrubs often manage 2 to 3 weeks. Water one section of the garden thoroughly each day rather than a little everywhere. Check plants in pots more often, especially in hot weather.
