Silver Plants for the Water Wise Gardener | Here She Grows

Last year as I was touring the Gardens at Ball in West Chicago, IL, one color stood out from the rest. And there were A LOT of colors! But silver was the standout, specifically silver foliage, and it was everywhere.
I have five new silver plants and two not-so-new but definitely worthy of consideration for what they bring to the garden. All are waterwise, as silver foliage plants tend to be, and all except one are perfect great for sunny spaces and containers. There's also a spectacular silver plant for all you deep shade gardeners!
And here's the link to order Salvia argentea 'Artemis' seeds...

Be on the lookout for these plants at garden centers this year!
Hi there! My name is Heather and I garden in zone 5B, recently changed to 6a, in the southwest suburbs of Chicago on a small residential lot. My garden lives a whole lot larger than it is and I love sharing tips and tricks, as well as plenty of mistakes, with others who love to play in the dirt.

Good morning Heather 😊 Thanks for including the Silver Plants and rocking the Silver Disco Era top! 😉👍 My lambs ear is old and perhaps the type you have. Was here when I moved in, 13 yrs ago. I finally moved a couple of them, and gave some to a friend. They were taking over! Beautiful they are (without flower stalks). Speaking of edible flowers, I read lambs ear can be used in salads, although a mild taste. Slightly earthy, herbaceous flavor. Or used as a garnish. Enjoy your day! ❤

Hi Gina! I had no idea lambs ear was edible. There are certain lambs ear that aggressively reseed. Silver carpet is one of them and I had that several years ago. I ripped it all out when I was finding it everywhere. I've since replaced it with Helen von Stein aka Big Ears. There are far fewer flowers on this variety and I've not had it reseed. Always love hearing from you!

Always appreciate the "review" videos. Will you do a seed review or unboxing soon?

[@heatherhereshegrows]

Yes! Probably in the next few weeks.

I’m up in the NW suburbs, and dusty Miller has been overwintering, so maybe silver scrolls might too

[@heatherhereshegrows]

I hope so. How nice would that be?
