Brachyglottis Walberton’s® Silver Dormouse is an attractive, compact, dense and bushy plant with very silvery foliage - much more compact and more brightly coloured than Brachyglottis Sunshine. In addition, it freely produces showy rich golden yellow daisy flowers. Unlike Sunshine, Walberton’s® Silver Dormouse does not suffer from brown and dead leaves in the centre of the plant. 

Walberton’s® Silver Dormouse can be used as a specimen for the border, or can be grown as a very attractive container plant. It also has uses in the amenity sector for mass planting and landscaping uses.

Already popular in the UK, this plant makes an excellent 2, 3 or 5 litre container plant for impulse sales. It can also be grown on to larger specimen sizes.
