Grows best in an average to moist soil, in full sun. Drought tolerant once established. Anaphalis needs room to spread and should be divided every 3-4 years to avoid centre dieback. Tolerates nutrient-deficient soils.
Native to Ontario. Important food source for several native butterfly species.
Leaves are edible when cooked.
