'Palibin's Edelweiss' These sun loving plants perform best in well-drained, alkaline soils that are not rich (low in nitrogen). This species grows about 8 to maybe 15 inches tall with silver white foliage covered with short thick 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. Might be short lived but easy to raise from seeds. Zones 4-8? Sow seeds thinly, crowding produces slow growth. Surface sow small seeds on to moist seed medium and use 55-65F for three weeks, if no germination in 2-4 weeks move to 32-39F for four weeks. Grow plants out on the cool side. 50-65F. Native from China and other mountain areas of Asia. Surface sow seeds and use 65-72�F. Light need for best results, germinates in 5-10 days. 100 seeds.
