Pearly Everlasting
(Anaphalis margaritacea)
Pearly Everlasting has a beautiful silvery early season color and texture and great late season texture from the flowers appearing in late July-September. The American lady (Vanessa virginiensis) and painted lady (Vanessa cardui) butterflies use this plant as a food source in the mid season along the North Shore of MN, so it has a time where it is often covered in silken webs, but be patient and remember you are hosting future butterflies.
