| Description:
Absolutely enchanting after the morning dew, the fuzzy leaves of A.
mollis catch the tiny water droplets which glimmer like tiny crystals.
The foliage is a soft grey-green and nearly round with deep lobes, giving
them a scalloped look. From late spring to early summer, masses
of finely textured, star-shaped, yellow-green flowers are held in small
clusters above the foliage. They work well as a filler in cut flower
bouquets or can be dried for fall and winter arrangements |
