It performs best in full sun to partial sun. While it can tolerate some shade, you will get the most prolific flowering and the tightest growth habit if it receives at least six hours of direct sunlight daily.

Because of its low-growing, spreading habit, it works beautifully in containers. It acts as a lovely spiller plant that will cascade slightly over the edges of a pot.

Snow Flurry is a cultivar of a species native to the central and eastern United States. It is well-adapted to the climate conditions of zones 5 through 8, making it a hardy, low-maintenance choice for those regions.
