This plant is aptly named, for when it blooms in spring, it is blanketed with what appear to be a million white stars. The distinctive foliage is small and hairy. The attractive evergreen foliage is deep green and wooly underneath. 'Milky Way' is a tough and adaptable plant, but performs best in a moist, well-drained organic soil in sun or light shade.
