Anaphalis

Anafalis is also found in the wild in Northeast Asia. In Poland, it appears only as a bedding species. It is a great decoration for rock gardens. It is also excellent for dried bouquets. Anaphalis is characterized by small white flowers with a yellow center, thanks to which it matches almost all dried flowers. It looks beautiful in a vase or in a bouquet. For this reason, it enjoys growing popularity among florists. It also wins the sympathy of handicraft lovers.
How does the Anaphalis look?
Anaphalis has single, stiff shoots growing from the rhizome. The stems can reach a height of up to 60 cm. They end with umbels composed of small flower baskets, which instead of petals have several rows of scaly underflower leaves. The center of the flowers turns yellow. Thus, anaphalis flowers are often said to resemble pearls. The shoots are leafy along their entire length. Narrow, lanceolate leaves are covered with a tormentum. Pearly everlasting blooms from late June to mid-September. In autumn, flowers replace fruit in the form of small achenes. It is worth remembering that for drying it is best to cut off the shoots with flowers that are not yet fully developed.

It can also be planted in borders, as it is an excellent companion for most popular garden species. It creates a wonderful duo with purple echinacea and rudbeckia, or delicate catnip or Persian. Dried flowers lovers can, in turn, plant it next to limonium or achillea, thus receiving the power of inspiration for dry bouquets. Anaphalis creates an excellent combination with blue flowers. So it will look beautiful growing next to the eryngium or echinops. Nothing stands in the way of compose it with dry ornamental grasses - sedge or briza.
The advantage of anaphalis is that it does not cause difficulties in care. The only condition is a well-sunlit, warm position. Otherwise, the plant's shoots may elongate and flowering may be reduced. The soil should be moderately fertile and airy. During drought, it is worth taking care of its regular watering, which will protect the leaves from drying out. Anaphalis is resistant to pests and diseases. It easily tolerates low temperatures, which means that it can overwinter in the garden.
