PEARLY EVERLASTING
Anaphalis triplinervis
SKU: 1861-20
Description
Anaphalis triplinervis is a herbaceous perennial plant native to the Himalayas (Tibet, Afghanistan, northern India, Nepal, Bhutan). Grey-green felted leaves produce sprays of small white flower heads.
The plants with their veined leaves are valued as groundcover, and the blooms as dried flowers, hence the common name triple-veined pearly everlasting.
Pearly everlastings thrive with little care in sunny locations where the soil is thoroughly well drained and tends to be dryish rather than wet. They are easily raised from seeds.
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zones: 4-8
Height: 30cm
Seeds per pack: 10
Germination: These are very tiny seeds which should be surface sown. Do not cover with compost, only press them in gently. Irrigate from the bottom or with a hand-sprayer, so that the seeds will not be washed away. Keep seed in constant moisture (not wet) with temperatures of about 20°C (68°F).
