The common name of this wildflower comes from its use in dried floral arrangements. But it’s so much more than a dried flower. It’s a caterpillar host plant for American Lady and Painted Lady butterflies (fascinating fact: the caterpillars create a silken web around the plant to feed) and some moths. Many other pollinators are attracted to the small white flowers. Pearly everlasting is a compact plant that looks good in front of a border. It flowers from spring to fall, so it supports pollinators a long time.
These 1-gallon plants have been flowering for a long time and are still flowering in early September.
