Adding Silver to Your Garden

• Grow these silver-leaf plants for their form: cardoon, clary sage, and globe thistle.
• Many silver-leaf plants, especially those with aromatic foliage, don't attract hungry deer. The deer-repelling list includes salvia, lavender, rosemary, and yarrow.
• Include plenty of silver spillers and cascading edgers, such as 'Silver Brocade' artemisia, snow-in-summer, silver thyme, lamb's ears, germander, and lamium, in your borders and containers.
• Gray or silver embellishments, such as concrete statuary, mirrorlike water, or galvanized metal, act as ideal foils
  for plants.
