Description
A very showy and "snowy" perennial, the 'Snow Flurry' is a very unique and beautiful native Heath Aster with a prostrate habit that spread along the ground to form a dense grey-green foliage mat that becomes smothered from mid summer to mid fall with a profusion of pretty daisies. The 1" diameter flowers have white rays surround yellow centers and are very attractive to butterflies and other beneficial pollinators. When not in bloom, the overall effect is much like a groundcover juniper that will spill over walls and boulders.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 4 to 8 inches tall and 18 to 24 inches wide, the Snow Flurry Heath Aster is ideal for use as a filler plant in large perennial gardens and sunny woodland borders, and also in large mixed container gardens. It is truly breathtaking in groupings or mass plantings. A fine addition to butterfly, cottage, meadow and white theme gardens.
Suggested Spacing: 18 to 24 inches for mass plantings
Growing Preferences
The Snow Flurry Heath Aster is very easy to grow in most any well-drained moist to dry soils in full sun or part shade. It is most floriferous and more compact in full to mostly sun. Provide at least 5 hours of direct sun for best flowering. As with many other perennial plants, moisture is required for young plants to develop a good root system however constantly soggy or wet soils can be problematic. Drought tolerant when established.
