The correct German translation is also found at Edelweiß

A word of caution about the plant Edelweiss (Leontopodium alpinum). I put some in my rock garden, and it started to take over. I had a hard time killing it out. Rangers here in the nearby Canadian Rockies warn against trying to establish the plant here, as it can interfere with native plants. A homesick Swiss put some in a park locale here, but luckily he wrote a letter to the Editor about it and it was found and removed.
