Snow Flurry White Heath Aster — Aster ericoides 'Snow Flurry'

Snow Flurry White Heath Aster (Aster ericoides 'Snow Flurry') is one of the most uniquely beautiful and ecologically valuable native asters available — a GA native herbaceous perennial with a distinctive dense prostrate habit that makes it exceptional as a low-growing groundcover or border edge plant, producing stiff, fine grey-green needle-like foliage that closely resembles heath and creates an attractive texture through the growing season before erupting in late summer into fall in an extraordinary blanket of abundant petite white daisy-like flowers that smother the plant from end to end in a stunning late-season display. Unlike most asters, Snow Flurry's prostrate, mat-forming habit — reaching just ~6 inches tall but spreading 6–12 inches — makes it a versatile choice for rock gardens, xeriscape plantings, border fronts, and naturalized areas where a tough, late-flowering native groundcover is needed. Notably mildew resistant and drought tolerant in full to part sun with dry to medium, well-drained soils. Hardy to Zone 3.
