Alpine Edelweiss - 50 Seeds - GMO free

Edelweiss is a short-lived perennial, reaching 15 - 20 cm. Its characteristic feature is clumps of lanceolate, woolly leaves. It is decorated with a cluster of small, silvery-white inflorescences surrounded by star-shaped petals. Its flowering period is from June to July. It is sometimes used in rock gardens, it is perfect for low perennial beds, cut flowers and for dry bouquets. In order to enjoy its full development, all environmental requirements must be met. Edelweiss prefers calcareous, not very fertile and well-drained soils with wide access to light. It is fully resistant to negative temperatures, which makes it great in our climate. Due to the fact that it is a mountain plant, it will be a perfect match for rockeries.

Its uniqueness is additionally evidenced by the fact that it occurs less and less in its natural environment and is strictly protected - the purchase of edelweiss seeds will allow you to have a specimen in your own backyard, thus contributing to an increase in the population of the endangered species. But the edelweiss is, above all, a unique charm that can effectively charm. Its beautiful, snow-white flowers will surely win many followers, who, having seen an edelweiss for the first time, will never be able to pass by indifferently.
