100 Pearly Everlasting Anaphalis Flower Seeds

Pearly Everlasting Anaphalis Flower Seeds

This is indeed an ‘everlasting’ flower, so it is excellent for cutting or drying. It has papery ½” flowers that form in clusters. The underside of the leaves is covered in tiny hairs, so they have a fuzzy wooly look & feel.

The plants tolerate poor soil & dry conditions with ease. The Pearly Everlasting is an important larval host & nectar plant for the beautiful Painted Lady Butterfly, and you can enjoy its unique fragrance that is something like a combination of lavender & cumin.
