The summer snow plant is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. As the name suggests, Snow-in-Summer creates a stunning visual spectacle in late spring and early summer. Its foliage is composed of tiny, felt-like, silvery-gray leaves that provide year-round interest. However, the real show begins when the plant erupts in a dense carpet of star-shaped, pure white flowers. The effect is so prolific that it often looks as if a fresh dusting of snow has settled over your garden beds.
