  Not at all. It didn't get very big but I loved the soft 'lambs' ears' leaves. I think they are dwarf varieties. I much prefer them to the standard foxglove leaf. The silvers do seem more like princesses, but so beautiful! I wondered whether the silveriness means they would prefer more sun (as silver plants often do.) I couldn't find out.

  indeed. It puzzled me last year. I couldn't find anyone selling it anywhere. Mine had turned up at a random furniture shop.

  I’ve got seeds called Silver Cub, very similar, may get some info if you google that one. 

  Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.

  These.  What I would say though, if you want to grow them, don’t cover at all, just sprinkle and leave.
