    Features

    For hot, arid, sunny conditions, you can rely upon Silver River™ didelta to deliver a rock-solid performance with little maintenance needed. It offers striking color contrast and terrific texture in combination with other heat and drought tolerant plants like Art & Sol™ Mangave, Whirlwind® Scaevola and Luscious® Lantana in landscapes. Didelta also works well as a spreading filler in hanging baskets and upright containers. Especially useful for water-conscious gardeners, this semi-succulent accent plant shines with its shimmering silver, velvety foliage all season.

    Maintenance Notes: 

    These drought tolerant plants should be planted in well drained soils and would do well in sandier areas. Avoid overwatering and let the soil dry down a little in between waterings. 

    If your plant begins to look a bit tired or leggy, use a sharp pair of scissors or pruning shears to trim back the plant to maintain it's shape and promote new growth.
