Sizes available: 2 quart

Basics: zones 4-7, 6-12" x 6-9", full sun, a sea anemone-like flower with tomentose bracts and leaves that look silvery-white, blooms into late summer. Likes a cool summer, and sandy or gritty, sharp drainage on the neutral to alkaline side. Absolutely no winter wet.

Common names: Edelweiss, Alpine Snow Flower, Lady's Mantle - Here are some translations from Wikipedia of some of the common names from other languages: Mountain Girl, Cliff Flower, and Star of the Alps

Synonym: L. alpinum is classified as a subspecies of Leontopodium nivale. There seems to be a bit of a dispute about how to classify - It looks like Leontopodium nivale subsp. alpinum would be this plant and Leontopodium nivale subsp. nivale would be the other, but my goodness they look like twins!

Family: Asteraceae

Origin/Distribution: the subarctic and subalpine regions of Europe and Asia

Habitat: It's natural hang outs are rocky limestone areas in the Alps, Pyrenees, and Appennines at altitudes between 5900 and 11200 feet.

More: Sing along with me: "Edelweiss, edelweiss, every morning you greet me...", yes this is THAT plant. An excellent, long-blooming addition to your sunny rock garden or well-drained border edge. I think it is a good bet for a clay pot if you don't have the right in-ground conditions. Just over-winter it somewhere you can keep it out of the wet. If you are lime-deprived, add some marble chips to the planting area. This is a short-lived perennial that will self sow if happy. I have used it in small bouquets to good effect. Edelweiss has been used medicinally throughout the Alps for a very long time. Another common name is Bellyache Flower. There is a HUGE Wikipedia entry about the cultural history and symbolism of this plant and it is fascinating. I will try to add the highlights this winter, but check it out if you are curious. It's complicated and not always pretty as political co-option is involved...

You get what you pay for. Won't order again.
Color: Birch, Size: 1/2"x 100ft, Color: Birch, Size: 1/2"x 100ft
Inconsistent width, and soft glue. The veneer is so thin you can see the plywood layers under it in places. The 1/2" width varies from 0.55" to 0.45" and was too narrow to cover the edge of my 0.46" plywood in spots. Even when fully cooled (left some pieces overnight before trimming) the glue is soft and tacky, and loads up on the edge banding trimmer blade. I was able to cover all my pieces, so I still gave it 3 stars. But I won't order it again. It's not worth the couple of dollars I saved. I also ordered a roll of 3/4 and threw it away. Same issues, and the color was way too light (looked more like raw maple than birch)

Nice for cable management
Real metal so it is very sturdy and if you tighten your screw it will be very stable too. I out it next to my monitor mount which provide a nice setup for cable management. It fits perfectly to a VESA 100x100 mount. I have a similar setup in my office but under the desk which makes it versatile.
