Its soft, velvety blooms make excellent fresh or dried flowers and are highly valued for their unique appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"490\" data-end=\"861\"\u003eTraditionally known in Germany as the \"stomach plant\", Edelweiss has a long history of use in European herbal medicine, where it was commonly prepared as an infusion with hot milk and honey to support digestive health.

Keep moist but not waterlogged. Grow in full sun in sharply drained, gritty or rocky soil, ideally with a neutral to alkaline pH. Once established, Edelweiss is highly frost tolerant but dislikes hot, humid conditions and poorly drained soils.
