Summer Icicle Snow on the Mountains 25 Seeds - Annual

If we can't beat 'em, join 'em. The winter, that is.

Here's another snow-themed plant that you can start from seed. How about putting this and all other white flowers (and vegetables) in a white garden this summer? I've seen beautiful "white gardens" and I've seen pathetic ones. I guess you have to keep trying until you get it right. Of course, everything looks good in the moonlight, which is really when you want to be in these gardens.

One farm I worked on put stems of Snow On The Mountain in their mixed bouquets. They looked great and added fullness and that lime-green yellow color which looks so good with orange and blue. When cut, the stems ooze this milky liquid that is a little sticky but otherwise, they are quite a good cut flower. This is an easy annual to start from seed!
