A friend just brought me this plant. She calls it Limonium, but I have never seen any Limonium that looks like this.
It has tap roots. Its leaves are yellowish green & fleshy in texture, & stems quite brittle. My friend grows it next to her rose bushes as shown in the photo below.

Thank you Janine & Mike. Awesome.
I only read of this plant long ago but have never seen one until now. How exciting.
Thank You!
