Product Details

Edelweiss (Leontopodium alpinum) is a legendary alpine flower, symbolizing purity, strength, and resilience. Known for its delicate white star-shaped blooms covered in a soft, velvety texture, Edelweiss thrives in high-altitude, rocky environments but can also be successfully cultivated in home gardens. Its low-growing habit and unique appearance make it a sought-after plant for rock gardens, borders, and container displays.

Why Choose White Edelweiss Seeds?

• Iconic and rare alpine flower
• Cold-hardy and drought-resistant once established
• Perfect for rock gardens and border plantings
• Thrives in well-drained, poor soils
• Symbol of beauty and resilience

Planting Instructions

1. Seed Preparation:

   • Stratify seeds by placing them in a damp paper towel inside a sealed bag and refrigerating for 3-4 weeks before planting.
   • This process mimics natural winter conditions and enhances germination rates.

2. Sowing:

   • Sow seeds directly in well-drained soil or in containers after the last frost.
   • Lightly press seeds onto the soil surface without covering them—they need light to germinate.
   • Space seeds 6-12 inches apart.

3. Germination:

   • Keep soil moist but not waterlogged.
   • Maintain a temperature of 60-70°F (15-21°C).
   • Germination occurs in 2-6 weeks.

4. Transplanting:

   • If started indoors, transplant seedlings outdoors once they have at least two sets of true leaves.
   • Choose a sunny, well-drained location with sandy or rocky soil.

5. Care & Maintenance:

   • Water moderately, allowing soil to dry slightly between waterings.
   • Avoid over-fertilizing, as Edelweiss thrives in nutrient-poor soils.
   • Mulch lightly around plants in winter for added protection.
   • Trim dead foliage after blooming to maintain plant health.

Best Uses

• Rock gardens and alpine landscapes
• Borders and low-maintenance flower beds
• Container planting for patios and balconies
• Symbolic and decorative garden accents
