Symphyotrichum ericoides 'First Snow' is a low-growing perennial featuring arching to prostrate stems that become smothered in tiny, white, star-like flowers from late summer into fall. Its narrow, green foliage resembles a soft juniper shrub when not in bloom. This hardy plant thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, tolerating drought and poor conditions. Ideal for rock gardens, borders, or as a ground cover, it provides vital late-season nectar for butterflies and bees.
