If you're looking for a plant that works well in tough/poor soil or a gravel garden, look no further. Pearly Everlasting is a perfect addition to a dry or rocky area, with attractive silvery leaves and yellow and orange flowers. The flowers are long lasting, especially when cut as part of a dried arrangement.
It's also a host plant for the American Lady butterfly. These butterflies appeared very quickly in the first spring we established these plants and laid eggs on them. Their caterpillars weave webs around themselves while they feed as a protective measure.

Seed Planting/Germination Key
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place prior to planting.
Rule of thumb for depth of planting: The maximum depth should generally be half the width of the seed, but many wildflower seeds will germinate well if sown on the surface.
Easy: Generally germinates within 5 to 30 days with no need for cold pretreatment. Keep potting mix or soil consistently moist during the germination period.
Cold(30): Germination rates are higher if cold pretreatment applied either by placing the seed within moist paper towel or sand within a refrigerator for 30 days or outside in late winter.
Cold(60): Germination rates are higher if cold pretreatment applied either by placing the seed within moist paper towel or sand within a refrigerator for 60 days or outside in mid-winter.
Cold(90); Outdoors: Germination rates are higher if cold pretreatment applied either by placing the seed within moist paper towel or sand within a refrigerator for 90 days or outside in late fall or early winter. The best route is to plant these outdoors in either a pot or directly on the soil.
