Snow Flurry White Heath Aster is an indispensable plant in the garden. This cultivar is a prostrate form that works perfectly as a ground cover or in rocks gardens. In fall, the dense, bushy foliage becomes bejeweled with small, white, daisy-like flowers, creating the illusion of an early snowfall. As with most asters, these blooms provide important nectar and pollen sources for late-season pollinators.
