Pearly everlasting will grow best in a sunny, warm, and drier place in the garden, ideally on fully sunlit southern slopes. The right soil is crucial for it, which should be poor in nutrients, very well-drained, and ideally sandy to rocky. Avoid heavy clay soils, as the roots could rot in them during winter. When planting, keep a spacing of about 30 centimeters apart, which corresponds to approximately 9 to 11 plants per square meter. This chosen distance will ensure sufficient air circulation, thanks to which the plants dry out better and stay vital.
As for watering, this is a very low-maintenance perennial that handles drought perfectly once rooted. Therefore, water it only sparingly and during periods of long heatwaves; waterlogging is downright harmful to it. Fertilizing is not needed at all, as it better maintains its compact shape with a height of 30 to 50 centimeters in nutrient-poor soils. Pearly everlasting can also be grown with great success in pots or window boxes on sunny terraces. If you choose this option, follow these rules:
Pour gravel or expanded clay into the bottom of the pot for a strong drainage layer.
Use a light substrate with a high proportion of sand.
Water in the container only when the substrate dries out completely.
During the summer, it requires no special maintenance and does not even need support, as its stems are firm and stable. A great advantage for every grower is that it does not suffer from any diseases and common pests reliably avoid it, so any spray treatments are eliminated. Since it loses its above-ground part with the arrival of winter, we recommend cutting the dry shoots just above the ground in autumn or early spring to make room for new growth. The perennial is fully frost-hardy down to -23 °C and will survive the winter in the flower bed without the need for any special protection. However, you'd better move pots to a sheltered spot by the outer wall of the house.
