Description

Boltonia asteroides 'Snowbank' has masses of white, fine-petaled, daisy-like blooms in late summer to early fall. This tall, generally upright perennial plant is great for the back of a sunny border and great for meadow plantings. It may be cut back to 1/3 of its size early in the season to keep it shorter. Remove spent blooms on this plant to reduce self-sowing.

Boltonia asteroides is a perennial native to the North American central plains from Canada down to Texas and eastward. It is naturally found in bottomlands, thickets, wet meadows and prairies, marshes and other wet areas, but it is quite happy in drier locations.

Also called False Aster, Boltonia asteroides 'Snowbank' prefers full sun, tolerates heat, humidity, and drought, and can handle clay soils and moist conditions. Boltonia 'Snowbank' readily self-sows.

We ship via UPS & USPS (the Post Office), and their ship rates are automatically generated through our site. We do not profit on shipping costs. We are working with these providers to get our customers the best rates possible.

All ship times are subject to change if extreme weather conditions are present here at the nursery or at the shipping destination.

Please note: Depending on the time of year, the foliage of the plants may be trimmed to fit into our shipping boxes. This could delay the flowering of the plant, but many perennials actually benefit from being cut back.

We are currently not able to ship to Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and outside of the US.
