Heath Asters love dry, well-drained soils, in sun to part shade. They form evergreen clumps of needle shaped foliage and literally cover themselves with thousands of 1/2 inch white with yellow centers, many-petaled, daisy-like flowers from early to late fall. This one, 'Snow Flurry', is really neat because it only grows 12 to 18 inches tall and 3 feet wide, forming low, dense, spreading mounds. A natural for the front of the dry garden or to drape over a wall or to spread out onto a walkway, Heath Aster also feeds the fall butterflies. A real winner all the way around. Cat# 1328
