Sedum sieboldii is a special sedum that shows off gray-green leaves often touched with pink. Rosy-pink flowers appear in autumn, adding to the cuteness factor.
Like most sedums, this variety looks great even during extended periods of heat and drought. And it's typically not bothered by deer and rabbits.
Name: Sedum sieboldii
Growing Conditions: Full sun and well-drained soil
Plant Size: To 6 inches tall and 10 inches wide
Zones: 6-9
Sea holly is striking in the garden or in dried-floral crafts thanks to its dramatic thistlelike flowers and spiny silvery foliage. Happily, it's easy to grow (and not invasive at all, unlike thistles) in a sunny spot that doesn't stay wet.
Name: Eryngium amethystinum
Growing Conditions: Full sun and well-drained soil
Plant Size: To 30 inches tall and wide
Zones: 3-8
Lamb's ears
Lamb's ears usually wins the award for softest garden plant. Its silvery leaves are coated in soft hairs, making it beautiful and also pest resistant (who'd want a mouthful of that?). It's a great groundcover for hot, dry spots -- especially slopes.
Name: Stachys byzantina
Growing Conditions: Full sun and well-drained soil
Plant Size: To 18 inches tall and 24 inches wide
Zones: 4-8
Silvermound Artemisia
Count on silvermound artemisia's low, rounded habit and bright coloring to add interest to your landscape, especially when paired with ornamental grasses.
Like many silvery plants, silvermound artemisia does best in full sun and likes well-drained soil.
Name: Artemisia schmidtiana
Growing Conditions: Full sun and well-drained soil
Plant Size: To 12 inches tall and 18 inches wide
Zones: 4-8
