About this plant
These are silver filigree foliage plants that are generally grown at the front of the border. They develop their intense silvery tones as the summer progresses. The species stands around 30cm in height but there are even more dwarf forms that stand at around a quarter of that height. These really need a rock garden or raised bed or they can disappear. They do flower, these being small and yellow. If the plant becomes ragged as the season progresses, it can be trimmed back and new growth should result.

Spring
Spring - late · Outdoors
Feed with slow release fertiliser
Apply a general purpose slow release fertiliser, spreading it around the root area of the plant as it is coming into growth. (Or apply a liquid feed at regular intervals throughout the growing season.)
This is a simple way to provide a nutrient boost as a single annual procedure.
Spring-Autumn · Outdoors
Water during dry periods
For plants in the ground, when there has been little or no rain for a period of 7-10 days and the soil is dry, give it a deep watering and repeat weekly until there is a downpour of rain. Check plants in pots more frequently, especially in hot weather.
Spring - early-mid · Planting
Divide when too large
The plant can be divided if it becomes too large or another plant is required. This may involve physically dividing the clump in two, removing offsets or small bulbs or dividing rhizomes. The new plants can be grown in pots or planted in the ground.
