'White Pearls' has white flowers and leaves that are a grayish green. It is a named clone of the species E. cheilanthefolium, that was selected at Siskiyou Rare Plant Nursery. As is true for the other erodiums, do not crowd it too closely with taller perennials, but allow it enough room to get lots of air and sunlight. It needs well drained soil to be long lived. Long flowering and undemanding. Hardy in USDA Zones 6 - 9.
