'Snow Flurry' Aster

Snow Flurry Aster (Symphyotrichum ericoides 'Snow Flurry')

Snow Flurry Aster is a low-growing, mat-forming perennial that produces a profusion of tiny white daisy-like flowers in the fall, creating a "flurry" of blooms that cover the plant. This cultivar of the heath aster is an excellent ground cover for rock gardens, borders, or wildflower meadows. Drought-tolerant and highly attractive to pollinators, it thrives in sunny, well-drained sites and provides extended fall interest when many other plants have finished blooming.

Key Characteristics:

• Profuse Fall Blooms
  Snow Flurry Aster produces masses of small, white daisy-like flowers that bloom in the fall, creating a dense, floral carpet. This late-season bloom offers valuable nectar to bees and other pollinators.

• Drought-Tolerant Ground Cover
  This aster cultivar is highly drought-tolerant once established, making it ideal for xeriscaping, rock gardens, or areas with poor soil. Its low, spreading habit creates a dense mat, suppressing weeds and stabilizing soil.

• Attracts Pollinators
  The abundant white blooms are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, supporting them during the late growing season when other sources of nectar are scarce.

• Versatile Landscape Use
  Snow Flurry Aster works beautifully in rock gardens, along borders, or as a ground cover in meadows and wildflower gardens. Its low-growing habit makes it ideal for mass planting and erosion control on slopes.

• Cold-Hardy and Deer Resistant
  This tough plant is cold-hardy, thriving in a variety of climates, and is also deer resistant, making it a resilient choice for gardens prone to wildlife browsing.
