Leontopodium (Edelweiss alpinum) - Edelweiss is a favorite wildflower of the Swiss Alps, best suited to growing in a well-drained rock garden, scree or alpine trough. Plants form a low clump of silvery grey foliage, bearing odd clusters of woolly white flowers with small flower heads held in stars of glistening whitish bracts in early summer. These can be cut, or even dried. Short-lived in gardens, these will sometimes self seed when happy. Best in regions with cool summers. Drought-tolerant once established. Grow in sun, in soil with excellent drainage. Rock garden, raised bed, alpine house, are ideal environments for Edelweiss.
