About this plant
This 'pearl everlasting' has a refined air with slender grey-green leaves. It makes a good foliage mound and is pleasant with the flat headed clusters of little white daisies, yellow eyed, that come in late summer and autumn. Give this sun or part shade in any reasonable soil that is well drained but has some moisture. The plant reaches 60cm (2 ft) high with a 50cm (20in) spread.

Spring
Spring - late · Outdoors
Feed with slow release fertiliser
Apply a general purpose slow release fertiliser, spreading it around the root area of the plant as it is coming into growth. (Or apply a liquid feed at regular intervals throughout the growing season.)
This is a simple way to provide a nutrient boost as a single annual procedure.
Spring-Autumn · Outdoors
Water during dry periods
For plants in the ground, when there has been little or no rain for a period of 7-10 days and the soil is dry, give it a deep watering and repeat weekly until there is a downpour of rain. Check plants in pots more frequently, especially in hot weather.
Spring - early-mid · Planting
Divide when too large
The plant can be divided if it becomes too large or another plant is required. This may involve physically dividing the clump in two, removing offsets or small bulbs or dividing rhizomes. The new plants can be grown in pots or planted in the ground.
