I've always been fascinated with silver plants. And now I am planning to make a small silver garden of my own.

Here is the proposed site:

There are two Hawthorn trees, which have a pretty silver foliage. On the far right (not on the photo)are the Buddlejas, also silver.

I plan to plant Snow-in-summer as the groundcover, propagate my silver-leaved Lavender,

These I bought today:

calocephalus

I just found out that it is hardy till -5°C... do it will not survive the german winter.  I'm thinking to put it in a big flowerpot, and move it indoors in the winter.

I wish I knew what this is called:

I also plan to add my silvery sedums, and maybe red one for a contrast

I also found a tiny silvery pine growing on my herb patch... I have to find out if I can keep it small, like a Bonsai. Then I would transplant it to my silver garden...

And now the biggest challenge, I have to plan what to plant where ! I'm looking for inspirations...
