Re: new introductions - some diffrent plants to try this year.

Leontopodium palibinianum:

"Palibin's Edelweiss" These sun loving plants perform best in well-drained, alkaline soils that are not rich.  This species grows about 8 to maybe 15 inches tall with silver white shortly hairy foliage. Leaves are sharply pointed and narrow growing more or less upright from the stems. The woolly rosette bracts are silver and the flowers are white. a nice alpine plant for the rock garden. Keep dry in the winter. A little easier to grow than L. alpinium. maybe short lived but easy to raise from seeds. Zones 4-8?  Native from China and other mountain areas of Asia.  Surface sow seeds and use 65-72ºF. Light need for best results, germinates in 5-10 days.
