It features deeply lobed, green leaves with a silvery underside and produces small, yellowish flowers from August to October.
Plant Characteristics
This herbaceous plant typically grows to a height of 1.2 meters (4 feet). The deeply lobed green leaves have a silvery underside, giving the plant a distinctive appearance.

The plant thrives in a variety of habitats, including forest edges, slopes, and scrublands, particularly at elevations ranging from 300 to 2,400 meters.

• Watering: Requires moderate watering; avoid waterlogged conditions.
