Pearly everlasting

Pearly everlasting is an interesting perennial whose original homeland is the dry grassy and rocky slopes of the distant Himalayas. Thanks to its mountain origins, it is a hardy and undemanding plant that easily handles harsher frosts and will grow effortlessly in poor sandy and well-drained soil in full sun. Its silvery-grey foliage creates an interesting contrast in flower beds and perfectly complements various drought-tolerant plantings. From July to September, tiny pure white inflorescences appear above the leaves, resembling small buttons or tiny Strawflowers in their appearance. The plant is a great attraction for bees and butterflies, offering them an excellent pasture. The Neuschnee cultivar stands out with its absolutely pure, radiant white shade of flowers. If you like creating your own floral arrangements, pearly everlasting will not disappoint you. Its flowers are excellent for cutting and stay fresh in a vase for a long time. At the same time, it is perfectly suited for drying for floristry purposes, as it retains its firm shape and color even after drying.
