Silver Bush

Silver Bush (Anthyllis) - Dwarf mountain plants of the Pea family, of which there are some half a dozen species in cultivation. As far as now known, few are worth growing on the rock garden.

Argythamnia humilis (Engelm. & Gray) Muell.-Arg. var. humilis - low silverbush

Argythamnia mercurialina (Nutt.) Muell.-Arg. var. mercurialina - tall silverbush

Anthyllis Montanus - he Mountain Kidney Vetch, is a very hardy rock plant; dwarf, about 6 inches high, the leaves pinnate, and nearly white with down, the pinkish flowers in dense heads, rising little above the foliage, and forming with the hoary leaves pretty little trailing tufts. I have never seen any alpine plant thrive better on the stiff clay of North London. Resisting any cold or moisture, it is among dwarf plants of the first order of merit as a rock plant. The variety rubra has darker red flowers. Alps of Europe. Division and seeds.

Anthyllis Barba-Jovis - upiters Beard) is a shrubby plant of erect growth, with silvery, silky leaves and creamy-yellow flowers in spring. Coming from Spain, it is suited to a hot, dry place in the rock garden, and in cold places is sometimes grown against a wall.

Anthyllis Erinacea - a singular-looking, much-branched, tufty, spiny, almost leafless shrub, about 1 foot high, with purplish flowers.

Anthyllis Hermanniae - Not so pretty in color, is a grey bush of pleasant aspect, flowering in summer and fitted for a sunny place in the rock garden S.W. Europe.
