Scientific profile
Anaphalis margaritacea is a broad-leaved, non-woody herbaceous plant in the aster family (Asteraceae). It typically reaches a height of about 0.6 metres. The species is terrestrial and forms arbuscular mycorrhizal associations. Flowering takes place from July to October. Ecologically, it prefers full sun, fresh (moderately moist) soil, and neutral to weakly acidic conditions with a medium nutrient supply. It is suited to moderately warm climates. The tiny seeds (diaspore mass 0.045 mg) are adapted for wind dispersal. In Great Britain, this plant is introduced and has become established.
