Anaphalis triplinervis

Silvery white petals that make up the buttonlike flower heads and their woolly white or silvery leaves give these hardy perennials the common name of Pearl or Pearly Everlasting. Excellent fresh or dried flowers. Cut just before flowers mature. Plant in well-drained sunny location where their light color can contrast with darker foliage or brighter flowers. Most tolerate poor soil, heat and drought. Divide clumps every three or four years.

This species from the Himalayas has larger leaves and can endure more shade and moisture, but won't tolerate drought or heat as well as other varieties. Chalky white flower clusters grow up to 2 inches in diameter.
