They tick all the boxes in the nursery with silver foliage but out of 10 you plant six will die off within the first couple of years. Not sure if that’s Adelaide soil specific.

Yeah, C. cnorem can be a bit of a diva. Nine times out of ten, it's too much water that gets them. If you have them planted out and on the same dripper system as the rest of the garden, sometimes that can be too much for them. In which case, choose a lower flow rate dripper to suit.
I also treat them like Lavenders, as in if you get a few years out of them, then be happy. They seem to lose vigor and become straggly after a few years. And just like Lavender, prune them early and often to keep them productive.
