Notes
Prairie everlasting (Antennaria neglecta) is a perennial for borders, rock gardens, and ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average, loamy or clay soil. It forms dense colonies, so give it room to spread. White flowers open in spring and again in summer, and butterflies visit them.
Pairs well with Blanket flower, Blue grama, and Limeglow creeping juniper.
