There are just a few of these plants in 8cm pots

This is a very beautiful biennial or short lived perennial. It has a rosette of large grey leaves which have a slightly felted appearance and above these are produced the lovely bracted tubular pink flowers. This is a plant which requires very little attention, and grows well and when it is at full flower display it is spectacular.  It makes an excellent container plant.It prefers full sun and well drained moist or sandy soil. Butterflies and bees are attracted to it. It is generally disease free , but slugs , caterpillars and snails like the leaves so be prepared for them.
