Is edelweiss a perenial and how do care for them?

Yes, edelweiss (Leontopodium alpinum) is a perennial plant known for its distinctive, star-shaped flowers and woolly leaves. To care for edelweiss, plant them in well-drained, rocky soil with full sun exposure, as they thrive in alpine environments. Water them sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings, and avoid excessive moisture to prevent root rot. Pruning spent flowers can encourage new growth and maintain their compact shape.
