Pearly everlasting
Anaphalis margaritacea
Pearly everlasting is a charming North American native wildflower prized for its papery white, pearl-like flower heads that retain their appearance when dried. It thrives in average to poor, well-drained soils in full sun to partial shade and spreads steadily by rhizomes to form attractive colonies. Deadheading is not required — harvesting stems for dried flower arrangements is the best way to keep the plant tidy.
