Mountain everlasting is a low-growing evergreen perennial, forming a dense mat roughly 4 inches (10 cm) high and spreading 8-12 inches (20-30 cm) wide, potentially reaching up to 2 feet (60 cm) across. It thrives in sandy and infertile soils, and as a groundcover, it showcases year-round foliage. The roots anchor the plant as it slowly expands. During mid to late summer, it produces flowers, adding seasonal interest to its lush green carpet.
