watering
Silvery Everlasting should be watered once every week, but adjust frequency based on the plant's soil moisture level. Water deeply, so the soil is moist to a depth of 5 to 6 inches. Stressed plants may require an extra watering per month. Do not let the soil remain overly wet; allow the top inch or 2 to dry out before watering. In hot or dry climates, it may need more frequent watering, whereas in cooler climates it may need less frequent watering.
sunlight
Silvery Everlasting is a plant species native to the cooler regions of Europe, North America, and Asia. It thrives best in moderate amounts of sunlight, at least 4 to 6 hours per day. This species benefits from partial shade in warm climates, but can tolerate full sun exposure in cooler climates. As a low-growing perennial, Silvery Everlasting does best when surrounded by shorter plants and protection from windy conditions.
pruning
Silvery Everlasting (Antennaria luzuloides) does not require much pruning. However, if you want your plant to look more natural and to remove any dead and weak stems, you can lightly prune your Silvery Everlasting in late summer. You should cut off the dead stems at the ground level and any thin, weak stems will also need to be pruned at the same time. It is important not to over-prune this species, as it will not look good and may lead to the plant becoming distressed.
