It could be a white version of Echinops ritro - were the flower heads like little white balls?

In forum: Echinops ritro
I have an echinops ritro that has been affected by some kind of pest or fungus since I've had it. The leaves are stunted and shrivelled and often covered in a white downy webbing. Also, it did not die back all the way this year and is currently putting out a flower (stunted and damaged). Any advice?

The spectacular globular flowers are an intense deep blue. The deeply divided, narrow, grey-green leaves and the perfectly round, spiky flowerheads make this a really striking plant.
It is attractive to many insects including bees, moths and butterflies and the seeds provide food for finches and other seed-eating birds.
