Astelia banksii
An evergreen New Zealand coastal plant forming a dense clump up to 60cm in height of hairy, silvery green foliage. It is frost tender so will require winter protection but will tolerate many areas of the UK, though those at higher altitudes and more northern areas would be advised to grow it in a pot so it can be overwintered indoors. Another rarely-offered plant, ideal for a well-drained, sheltered spot.
