Native to the Swiss Alps.
Thrives in an average to dry, well-drained, sandy soil, in full sun. Before winter, do not cut the green or dead foliage as it is needed to protect the roots and crowns. Prune old foliage when new growth appears in the spring. May be a short-lived perennial in Ontario climates. Leontopodium has been know to self-seed, but not consistently.
