Leucogenes – New Zealand Edelweiss – <\/strong><\/p>\n

There are 3 or 4 species of woody based, dwarf, hummock, mat, or clump forming perennials. They occur from screes or rocky fields in the mountains of New Zealand. They have obovate-wedge-shaped or linear to lance shaped, closely overlapping, intensely silver hairy leaves and, in summer bear small, flat yellow flowers surrounded by collars of white-woolly bracts. Effective in a rock garden, but difficult to grow in dry climates.<\/p>\n

Grow in gritty, humus rich, moist but sharply drained soil in full sun or filtered sun. They grow best in cool, moist climates and resent a dry atmosphere in summer. Protect from winter moisture.<\/p>\n

Prone to slugs and snails.<\/em><\/p>\n
