    I found this growing in sandy soil. It has white flowers and gray stems. It stands about 2 or 3 feet tall. The leaves are opposite and very thin. I think it may also be in the Asteraceae family.

    It reminds me of an Everlasting, although I cant say which 'Antennaria' it might be.
    Just a guess.

    Over here in the UK we call it Silver Dust but it's the same plant as LDH has named for you.
