Is there a silver foliage heather?

Silver Foliage.

Everyone knows the flames, yellows and oranges of the ornamental foliage heathers, but few are aware of the grey/silver forms. The flowers take second place to the foliage . Use as a contrast to the brightly coloured varieties. The best are:
Calluna vulgaris "Silver Knight" 12"tall. Upright growth. Pale mauve flowers.
Calluna vulgaris "Silver Queen" 18"tall. Spreading growth. Dark pink/mauve flowers.
Calluna vulgaris "Beoly Silver" 16"tall. White flowers.
