About Snow on the mountain
Snow on the mountain is one of nature's charming tricks. This delicate annual plant gets its name from the white-edged leaves that look like fresh snow has dusted the tips. Butterflies and other pollinators love visiting the small flowers, and the whole plant has a graceful, feathery quality that adds movement to any garden bed. It's a true native plant, so it fits right in with your local landscape.
Growing snow on the mountain is refreshingly simple. Plant it in a sunny spot where it has room to spread, and don't fuss over it too much. It's naturally suited to your region and won't demand constant watering or special care. Since it's an annual, it completes its life in one season, reseeding itself if you let some flowers go to seed. You'll find it rewarding and easy to love.
