The low wide one. Like the softest deepest shag pile carpet you can imagine, this low-lying woolly bush will cover your rockeries in a tumble of silvery-grey, frosted with lime and copper tips.

Although it's prostrate, it can rise up pretty high so you can clip this one to a stepover hedge if that's your bag, or prune out any upright stems to encourage the waterfall profile.

Like its big relatives, this prefers light sandy free-draining soil, dry air, sunny sites
