Pearly Everlasting 'New Snow' | Anaphalis Margaritacea Perennial Seedlings

Also known as ‘pearl everlasting’ due to its long-lived clusters of papery, button-like white blooms, this member of the daisy family is a favourite among florists and gardeners alike. For florists its main attributes are an impressively long vase life as well as a suitability for dried arrangements and pot pourri. For gardeners, it is appreciated as one of the few silvery plants to cope well with moist, heavy soils, while also doing well in drier places such as gravel and rock gardens. Added to this impressive adaptability is a long and prolific flowering period along with a good resistance to pests and diseases. From the Himalayas comes this attractive, clump-forming plant with sparkling, silvery stems and dense clusters of small papery white, everlasting flowers, perfect for drying. It would make a good addition to prairie style gardens. 1ft (30cm)
