Pearly Everlasting
Ideal to complement colorful perennials in beds or borders, award-winner Pearly Everlasting (Anaphalis margaritacea) is a rewarding bushy perennial topped with bountiful clusters of long-lasting, buttonlike flowers which are perfect for dried floral arrangements. Small, with golden-yellow disks and pearly white, papery, translucent bracts resembling petals, they are borne on erect stems, clad with lance-shaped leaves that are gray-green on top, white and woolly underneath. Their edges are rolled upward, giving the appearance of silvery margins.
