As a member of the sunflower family, this plant may have smaller flowers than its big yellow cousins, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in bloom duration and quantity.

Small white, "everlasting" flowers grow atop ~2 foot tall stems. Gray-green fuzzy leaves whirl down. Durable in full sun and dry areas of the landscape.

A multitude of ethnobotanical applications, including looking great dried in arrangements and on wreaths. Painted lady butterfly approved.
