Plant Description
Individual, erect, cottony stems grow 1-3 ft. tall and are often clumped together creating a bushy appearance. Narrow leaves are gray-green to woolly-white. Globular flowers are actually long-enduring, white, dry bracts arranged around a yellow center. Several evenly leafy woolly stems in a small patch are topped by a crowded, roundish cluster of flower heads with pearly-white bracts, sometimes with a dark spot at base of each outer bracts. The dried stalks with their pearly-white heads are attractive in floral arrangements. The pure white flower is commonly used in dried flower arrangements. Good dried flowers; food plant for Painted lady butterflies.[2]
Bloom Period
July through September.[3]
Distribution
Widely distributed throughout Washington; occurring throughout North America except for portions of Midwest and Southeast.[3]
Habitat
Dry to somewhat moist open areas, low to sub-alpine elevations.[3]
Uses
In folk medicine, it is used as a salve for burns. (Strickland)[2]
Propagation
[Propagation protocol from USDA NRCS]
Seed
Seed sample from 2010
Average Measurement: 0.6 x 0.2 x 0.2
Measurement Range: L: 0.4 - 0.75, W: 0.1 - 0.3, D: 0.1 - 0.3
Features
Shape: Seeds somewhat ribbed. Right above hilum, seed narrows considerably before flaring out again.
Color: Seed is brown. Hilum is glossy and puckered, lighter colored that rest of seed.
Additional Features: Pappus of downy white hairs significantly longer that seed itself.
