Add a touch of cool elegance to your summer garden with Snow on the Mountain, a striking annual known for its crisp white variegated foliage that looks dusted with fresh snow. Native to North America, this bold and beautiful plant creates glowing contrast in sunny beds and borders, with its bright green leaves edged in creamy white and topped by soft, star-like bracts that give the entire plant a frosted appearance.
Though grown primarily for its foliage, Snow on the Mountain also supports pollinators with its nectar-rich blooms, attracting bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects throughout the season. Its upright habit and tidy branching structure make it a standout in floral arrangements, where it serves as a brilliant filler and contrast plant, bringing balance and brightness to late-summer bouquets.
This tough and drought-tolerant annual thrives in full sun and lean soils, requiring very little maintenance once established. It's deer-resistant and adaptable, making it a great choice for naturalized gardens, cut flower plots, and borders that need a pop of structure and contrast. Whether planted en masse for a dramatic display or tucked between colorful companions for contrast, Snow on the Mountain brings cool, effortless beauty to any garden design.
