Aster ericoides ‘Snow Flurry’
Aster ericoides 'Snow Flurry' is a cold hardy heather aster with masses of late season nectar-rich white flowers.
Aster ericoides ‘Snow Flurry’ is an award-winning heather aster for good reason. It’s cold hardy, drought tolerant once established, a pollinator magnet and tolerant of pests and black walnut. It offers exceptional late summer appeal with snow flurry-like displays of hundreds of tiny daisy-like flowers with white rays and golden centres that smother its low arching stems. Heather-like foliage is pubescent and gray-green. Its unique mat-forming habit of 4-6 inches tall and a 2-4 feet wide make it a great ground cover in the mixed sunny border or rock garden, edging a garden path or spilling over a wall.
