Thrift on cliffs near Pendeen

Competition

September's question

Name this plant :
'This useful shrub, although upright in salt winds, can also lie in a tangle.' (10 letters)

Send your answer to us before the end of September 06. A small prize awaits the sender of the first correct answer pulled out of the editor's gardening hat.

Last time's answer to the clue 'Say hello in confused state'. was Sea Holly.

My apologies for the long gap since the last competition! Been up to my ears in plants...
