Soft and pettable foliage

Name :  Silvermound (Aremisia schmidtiana)
Zones: 5 to 8
Size: 1 foot tall and 18 inches wide
Conditions: FUll sun; well-drained soil 

It is hard to walk by silvermound without bending down to pet its soft, aromatic,
silvery gray foliage. And it's that pungent herb scent that repels the deer. Silvermound
works well planted in a drought-tolerant landscape. Combine it with bright-colored
flowers that also love the sun
