Ballota pseudodictamnus (false dittany) is a Mediterranean sub-shrub grown for its woolly, silver-grey aromatic foliage.
Free click & collect from the nursery, or delivery on larger orders.
A low, mound-forming evergreen with rounded, felted grey-green leaves that bring soft texture and a silvery glow to a planting — the main attraction, with small pale pink flowers a bonus in early summer.
Thoroughly Mediterranean in taste, it thrives in hot, dry spots and poor soil, making it ideal for gravel gardens, rockeries, sunny borders and containers.
Give it full sun and sharp drainage; it is drought-tolerant once established and dislikes winter wet.
