These uncommon everlasting with adorable blooms are mostly grown as an annuals but could be tender perennials in zones 9-10.
The prolific 1/2- 3/4" silvery-white blooms on stiff stems are typically grown for dried-flower production but are also useful as fresh cuts for flower arrangements. As flowers mature, the papery white petals open to reveal bright-yellow centers.
O2AA Plant Nursery's agriculture program has started selling fresh, locally grown produce, ever since the pandemic began, but they're not just a resource for tiny plants and worm poop, they're also a great resource for home gardening advice. So don't be afraid to give them a ring. You can learn more about them at their own site, or you can find more of their products right here on Keep Oakland Alive.
