Flower stalk has a length of 3-40 cm. Flowers last forever and can last more than 100 years.

Longfol edelweis grows with 1500-2500 mm/year rainfall on the slopes of young volcanic soil that is nutrient poor and disturbed by fires. This plant is symbiotic with mycorrhizal fungi that allow the roots to expand the zones of water and nutrient uptake.
