Everlasting

Everlasting  (Antennaria)

Everlasting (Antennaria) is a genus of evergreen perennials which form dens mats of foliage. The foliage of Everlasting is usually covered with silvery grey hairs. Clusters of small flower heads feel like dried flowers to the touch. Everlasting needs a well-draining soil in a sunny position. A good plant for edging a border, or better still in a rockery or a pot on the patio. Everlasting goes well with Stonecrop (Sedum), Sun Rose (Helianthemum) and Houseleek (Sempervivum).
