Both the lime green and gray forms of this plant are very attractive. I've
only ever seen it used in container plantings, however. It's difficult to
find in nurseries here in the Central Valley, and I don't think it's very
cold-hardy. I'd love to give it a try, otherwise. Does anybody know
anything about the cold hardiness of this species?
