Snowdrift False Goatsbeard

'Snowdrift' has tall white plumes sitting on top of a full mound of finely cut, lacy green foliage. The soft, fluffy panicles are comprised of tiny densely packed flowers which bloom in early to mid summer. The stems stand 24 inches tall. 'Snowdrift' does well in shade to partial shade where it adds a welcome touch of color to a shady garden. It is generally pest free and tough. It is resistant to rabbits and deer, but attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds. This is an excellent cut flower. After the blooms have died, the stalks with the dried seed heads are often left in place for winter interest.
