Edelweiss

Edelweiss (Leontopodium) - A pretty and hoary-leaved alpine plant, L. alpinum, having small yellow flowers surrounded by star-like heads of leaves clothed with a dense white woolly substance. Some people are so pleased at seeing this plant in cultivation that they send letters to the Times to announce the fact; but its culture is not difficult on sandy soils, or even as a border plant, and it grows, too, luxuriantly in moist rich soils. To keep a good stock of flowering plants, the old ones should be divided annually or young ones raised from seeds, which in some seasons ripen plentifully. It succeeds either on exposed spots of the rock garden or in an ordinary border, if not placed too near rank-growing things.
