A wine-red version of our native Mountain Everlasting, which turns soft pink with age.
Mountain Everlasting is a native Irish plant also called Catuibh. It is an evergreen perennial, forming a mat of spoon-shaped leaves which have dense white hairs beneath. The upright stems grow to 10cm, bearing fluffy wine-red flowerheads from May to June. These are followed by a fluffy white seedhead.
In its native habit, it grows in limestone grassland, cliffs and rocky places and is abundant in the Burren. The Mountain Everlasting likes to grow in a free-draining soi in full sun.
