Edelweiss (Leontopodium Alpinum) is a famous alpine plant that has always been highly sought after by tourists. Edelweiss became so popular that it was threatened by extinction. This Alpine plant will also thrive in our climate in the garden. Why not plant a few in a container for a surprising new look? Also very beautiful in a rockery or growing from garden walls. Well worth trying. Ground cover plants have a creeping growth habit & soon spread to produce a dense carpet of flowers & greenery.
