Description
Snow on the Mountain dazzles with crisp, white-edged bracts that look delicately hand-painted, creating a luminous, frosted glow even in the heat of summer. The bright variegation seems to shimmer in the sunlight, lighting up garden beds and adding striking contrast to deeper greens and bold blooms. Its upright, branching form fills space beautifully in borders and mixed plantings, while sturdy stems make it a standout addition to fresh bouquets. Deer resistant. CAUTION: Plant parts are extremely toxic if ingested, and some people experience contact dermatitis.
