CATALOGUE DESCRIPTION
Tall bushy shrub. It has slightly twisted silvery-green linear foliage. In spring lime-green bracts emerge surrounding large silver cones. The stems are long and 'lean' in the wind, hence the name. They are great for floral work. Very showy and lasts through the spring. To maintain bushy habit, prune back stems in late spring. Best in a sunny site in well drained soil, tolerates dry conditions once established.
