Whispering Willow

Flower type: Biennial (Grows along the ground or other low surfaces.)

This average-sized flower grows up to 6 inches (15 cm) tall. Its gray-green stem is wispy, and the tiny, hazel leaves are dark orange-yellow on the underside and are wispy with toothed edges. Many leaves grow at the base of the stem, and a pair of leaves grow at the base of the flower head.

Around 30 small flowers grow in drooping bunches like grapes. The flowers are 5 cm (2.0 inches) wide, with solid lime petals and a silver central disk. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of 24 petals. They fall easily.

It has a powerful scent that smells like leather, and it has lots of pollen; it can cause severe allergic reactions. It is a self-pollinator, but is also visited by a small species of bird.


It can absorb up to 10 times its own weight in water.
It is suitable for making paper
