Description
 
Collected by Hinkley from Emeishan as the species cavalieri, this Borage family member has riveting evergreen foliage washed in a gleaming silvery metallic overlay that is more than reason enough to grow this but OMG it has lovely flowers too which are white but touched in the palest blue.  Gentle runners that makes a quiet patch.  Ultra choice & rare, this has thrived in North Seattle for some years.  Thanks to the generous and gifted Jeanette Kunnen for sharing.  Full disclosure has some of these with minor slug nibbles on the leaves but we did not observe this happening in the garden - don't be dissuaded but we didn't want you surprised!
