Description

The plant is especially enchanting in the morning when dew collects in glittering droplets on its velvety, folded leaves. Above the delicate foliage, pale yellow-green flower veils drift, making it an easy‑going perennial that also works well as a ground cover.

Care instructions

Plant in a semi‑shaded spot with fresh, humus‑rich soil; it does not tolerate intense midday sun. Water during dry periods to prevent leaf wilting. After flowering, cut the plant back to the ground level; it will regrow fresh and will not spread uncontrollably.
