Seed count

Quantity:    


These sun loving plants perform best in well-drained, alkaline soils that are not rich (poor in nitrogen). This species grows about 8 to maybe 15 inches tall with silver white foliage covered with short thich hairs. Leaves are sharply pointed and narrow growing more or less upright from the stems. The woolly rosette bracts are silver and the flowers are white. a nice alpine plant for the rock garden. Keep dry in the winter. A little easier to grow than L. alpinum. Maybe short lived but easy to raise from seeds. 

Hardy to Zone 4
