White Flower Farm Symphyotrichum ericoides Snow Flurry
Best low maintenance groundcover for late season garden interest.
This low-growing perennial acts more like a living carpet than a traditional flower, hugging the ground with a unique, horizontal habit that thrives in neglected, sun-baked spots. It sacrifices height for resilience, trading showy blooms for a season-long, pollinator-friendly foundation that keeps your garden looking lush even when the soil is lean.
