Aster ericoides ‘Snow Flurry’ has a unique compact spreading habit. Plants form a ground cover with low arching stems clothed in pubescent gray-green leaves. This aster cultivar thrives in sun and adapts to most soils. In early autumn plants produce frothy white flower panicles that draw the eye and beckon to a bevy of butterflies and other pollinators.
The parent species Aster ericoides is native from Quebec to Manitoba and south from Maine to Alabama and west to North Dakota and Arizona. The species occurs in prairies, savannas, limestone glades, dry rocky woods, pastures and railroad or roadside right-of-ways.
‘Snow Flurry’ is an older aster variety with unknown origins.
In early autumn plants are topped by dense sprays of small daisy-like heads. Each is about ½” across with 12 or so white rays surrounding a cluster of golden disc florets.
Plants grow 6-8” tall with 2-4’ spread.
This Aster is no different than many others in its family – providing valuable habitat for Butterfly larva and is a nectar sources for bees, wasps, and butterflies.
