Anaphalis margaritacea
Pearly everlasting is a resilient, silvery-leaved perennial native to dry meadows, open forests, dunes, roadsides, and disturbed areas throughout the Pacific Northwest. Its upright stems are lined with soft, woolly, gray-green leaves, and topped with clusters of small, pearly white flower heads that hold their shape and color long after drying for fall interest. The bright, long-lasting flower clusters attract native bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects during bloom.
