Hi, this is Yolanda from Vanveenbulbs.com. And in this segment we're going to learn all
about how to grow Edelweiss. Or Edelweiss if you want to pronounce it the German or
Swedish way. Now Edelweiss are a beautiful flower that grows in the mountains of the
Swiss Alps. So they can grow in your yard real easily as well. So in nature, they're
found way up in the mountains in between rocks. Growing on the cliffs of the Swiss Alps. And
they're related to other types of daisies or astors and they bloom in the summertime.
They have little white flowers that are really delicate and they have a little bit of a soft
gray furry look to them, so they're really, really pretty. They're found in the Swiss
Alps into Austria, and they're very, very easy to grow, you just put them in a sunny
spot with good drainage. They like lots of earthy composted good drainage soil, with
a lot of rocks in them. And they'll bloom every summer faithfully. And they come back
year after year. And a lot of people note that sometimes they do lose them over the
years, but you can also start them again in the spring. They're really a beautiful plant
that's easy to grow. And they're one of the most famous plants in the world. And known
the world around from the Sound of Music.
