Seaside shrub

Yesterday, we took the grandson to Blackpool Sands and on the way from the car park, walking towards the café area, there was a very attractive silvery grey shrub. It was about 4' tall, not flowering and the foliage was quite 'soft', not in a new growth way but more as if that was its habit. I'd say the leaves were probably about Fuchsia size but the colour was distinctly silver-grey. Ray feels he's seen it before but can't bring its name to the surface. It's obviously salt tolerant but may be tender away from the seaside. Would anyone have any ideas from this descriptioon? A few ideas come to mind: Ballota hirsuta or B. pseudodictamus; Helichrysum petiolare, Phlomis sp., Salvia sp., or Teucrium fruticans. Any of those work for you? -- Spider from high ground in SE London gardening on clay |
