Stachis woolly Marvel, seeds Gavrish Alpine slide 0.05g

Perennial rhizome plant up to 50 cm tall, with erect, slightly leafy stems. The leaves are thick, oblong-linear, white-tomentose-pubescent, which gives them a special decorative effect. The flowers are small, up to 1 cm long, collected in dense, spike-shaped inflorescences. Blooms in June-September. The plant is winter hardy, but it can suffer from damping. It develops better in open sunny places, the more light and the poorer the land, the smaller and silvery the leaves. Flower stems should be cut at the bud stage, as they reduce the decorative effect of the planting. The plant can remain in one place for many years, but the center of the bush becomes bare over the years. Therefore, in the spring, the old part of the plant is cut out with a sharp shovel, adding humus to this place, and several young outlets are planted. Seeds are sown before winter or spring in open ground or in seed boxes. Seedlings dive at a distance of 5-8 cm. They are planted in a permanent place next spring, keeping 15-20 cm between the plants. Decorative spectacular leaves with a silvery tint, can serve as a decoration for any plantings of perennial and annual plants. They are used in mixed plantings near shrubs, in curbs, on rocky areas, in carpet compositions.
