Snow-in-Summer
Snow-in-summer is a flowering perennial that grows as a mound of silver-grey leaves. In late May, small white flowers cover the plant. Snow-in-summer is an easy care groundcover that will spread through underground stems if growing conditions are ideal. Its light-colored leaves contrast nicely with other landscape plants.
Snow-in-summer needs regular moisture and good drainage. It can grow well in sandy soil if watered periodically.
