    A friend took this photo when they visited a garden (Titsey Place). They want to know what the grey leafed plant is - and so do we. :)

    Thanks

      It could be Salvia argentea?

      Hi @pete
      That was our first thought but all those we have seen, and what we have found so far on the net, don't have the pointed leaves. :scratch:

        Well the only other plant that comes to mind is maybe a variety of Senecio.

        Thanks for trying but I don't think it's Senecio. :noidea:

        Maybe @Silver surfer will pop in and tell us. :)

        It looks like Senecio cineraria 'Silver Dust' which used to be Cineraria maritima.

          Thanks, that was our second thought but although it has the pointy leaves it seems to be smaller leafed than the one in the photo. :scratch: Could be, though :smile:

          It's Cineraria (Senecio) Cirrus a more rounded leaf form of Silver Dust. I used to grow thousands at one time for the Parks Dept but they were prone to rust so we went back to Silver Dust.
