A chance seedling between the European Edelweiss and L. nivale from Tibet, occurring at our nursery around 2012. It has inherited the best of both worlds (pun intended): The silver leaves and longevity from L. nivale Tibet and the floriferousness and vigor from the European Edelweiss. For us, the earliest to bloom of all Edelweiss and reblooms late summer/fall. For average to lean and well drained soil. BEFORE ORDERING, PLEASE read very important information about growing Edelweiss on top of the Edelweiss main page.
