Symphyotrichum (Aster) ericoides ‘Snow Flurry’

Description

‘Snow Flurry’ is a prostrate heath aster cultivar that typically grows to 4-6” tall and spreads along the ground to form a dense foliage mat. Small, single asters with white rays and yellow centers cover the foliage in a profuse fall bloom. The flowers are attractive to butterflies. Distinctive leaves are 1” long, narrow, rigid and linear.

Easily grown in average, dry to medium, well-drained soil in full sun. Tolerates some light shade. Good drought tolerance.

Use ‘Snow Flurry’ as a robust groundcover throughout your flower beds to provide a dense, weed-smothering carpet of bright green stems and tiny leaves. It is great in rock gardens where it can sprawl along ledges and over rocks. Good for borders, cottage gardens, open woodland gardens or wild/naturalized areas.
