Leontopodium alpinum Blossom of Snow ('Berghman') produces star-shaped flowers that are bright white with yellow centers. This variety was bred specifically to produce large flowers on long stems that would be ideal to cut for flower arrangements. The beautiful flowers compliment the silvery green foliage nicely and re-bloom. It works great in containers, rock gardens, and the edges of borders.


Leontopodium comes from the Greek words for lion's paw, referring to the shape of the flower petals. Edelweiss comes from the German words for noble + white. Edelweiss is native to the alpine countries of southern Europe, and is a symbol of the alpine regions and their people. A famous song was written about the flower by Rodgers & Hammerstein for the 1959 musical 'The Sound of Music'.

Homeowner Growing Tips

Grow in full sun, in well-drained soil; does best with sandy or gritty soil, and tolerates alkaline soils well. A raised bed is ideal, otherwise try to plant this on a small mound. Rot is likely in poorly-drained soils. Gravel mulch is preferred. Does better in cool climates than in hot, humid ones. Trim after flowering to promote re-bloom.
