Plant information

Pearly everlasting…isn’t that the best plant name? This perennial has a lot going for it as an ornamental landscape plant as well as providing valuable support for wildlife.

A. margaritacea grows to around 2 feet in height, with rounded white flowers that grow in clusters, making this an excellent option for flower arrangements (especially dried! “Everlasting” is right!)

As for the scent, if you love woodsy/tobacco scents, this one might just do it. We’ve heard it described as musky/pine/tobacco. This scent profile makes perfect sense when you learn that Native People used this as a tobacco substitute, as well as for a wide variety of medicinal purposes.

A	Seed should germinate when sown in a warm location.
B	Hot water treatment: Bring water to a boil, remove from heat, pour over seeds, and soak for 24 hours.. Generally this is for seed with a thick seedcoat.
C	(# of days of cold moist stratification) Seeds germinate after a period of cold, moist stratification. Mix seeds with a handful of damp vermiculite or clean sand (moist—but not wet). Place mixture in a sealed plastic bag and store in a refrigerator, NOT the freezer.
D	Sow on the surface of the soil. Generally these seeds are very small.
E	These seeds need a 60-90 day warm, moist period followed by a 60-90 day cold, moist period.
F	These seeds need a 60-90 day cold, moist period followed by a 60-90 day warm, moist period followed by a 2nd cold, 60-90 day moist period.
G	Highest germination rate in cool soil.
H	Seeds need scarification: One way this can be achieved is to rub the seed between two sheets of sand paper. If code "C" is also called for, scarify first.
