Anaphalis margaritacea


Pearly Everlasting

USDA Zone: 2-9

Plant number: 1.037.050


A native wildflower over much of North America, valuable in the garden for its late summer display of white flowers. Plants form a bushy mound of silvery-grey leaves, bearing upright, branching heads of papery button flowers. Excellent cut flowers, either fresh or dried. Tolerates most soil conditions, drought tolerant once established. Attractive to butterflies. Plants are sometimes inclined to self seed all over, which can be prevented by gathering the heads to dry, or shearing back before the seeds ripen.
