Lovely silver South African flower which just didn't get enough season to bloom. The nice rounded bush would become a cushion of bright yellow flowers, much like a chrysanthemum. I meant to bring one inside, but a frost stole in and took them before I did. I may not find them again, they seem to be a bit rare to find.

Thank you Drc. I may be able to get them to ship to me. I think I would even grow it as a houseplant with my fucshia that come in but are kept cool. Its thick, silvery and exotic. I really wanted to get a look at the flowers.! :-/

Hi GT, a company in Denmark 'PLA' appears to sell them for their growers, it came up on Google when I typed in the plant name.
Hope you find them again, this is the info they had on it:
'Recommended Pot Size:13 cm-15 cm / 2 liter pots.
Timing of flowering / Production: Grown for foliage, flowers in response to cool temperatures similar to Osteospermum.
Plant Growth Regulators (PGR): Generally not required when grown cool.
Specialty Info (Tips for Success): Keep soil slightly dry for best results.
Features and benefits: Can be grown cool for energy efficiency and lower production costs'.
