Silvery cotton plant

Also known as: Fiordland mountain daisy

Silvery cotton plant is a perennial herb with thick, leathery leaves that form a basal rosette. Its foliage, a glossy green on top and felt-like beneath, is highly adapted to its alpine habitat. This resilience against the elements is punctuated every spring by daisy-like flowers, each white with a sunny yellow center, perched atop robust, albeit short stems.
