Aster 'Snow Flurry', Heath Aster 'Snow Flurry', Symphyotrichum ericoides f. prostratum 'Snow Flurry'
A very attractive low-growing variety, Aster ericoides f. prostratum ‘Snow Flurry’ (Heath Aster) forms a dense, spreading mat with its arching stems that seem to undulate across the ground. Its fine ferny foliage of very tiny, stiff and linear leaves is more reminiscent of heaths than asters. In early fall, the foliage becomes speckled with very small, 1/2 in. (1 cm), white, star-like flowers, turning the plant completely white due to the sheer quantity of flowers. Native to North America, this attractive perennial is easy to grow, low maintenance, mildew resistant and is not affected by any serious pests or diseases. It is terrific as a groundcover or when allowed to cascade over the edge of a wall or a container.
