Reliably thrives in the driest of sites, and is highly valued in gardens for its long bloom time. Host plant for American Lady and Painted Lady butterflies. Leaves and stems are covered in small hairs, giving the foliage a silvery-green appearance that compliments other wildflowers with bolder colours very well. Excellent for dried flower arrangements. Approx. 200 seeds per packet.
