Verbesina virginica (Frostweed)
$ 4.98
Frostweed features dark green leaves and white flowers. It grows in dappled shade found at the edges of woodlands, where it can form sizable colonies with its spreading rhizomes.
Frostweed is a pollinator magnet and a great candidate for informal and naturalized gardens. In freezing weather it forms spectacular ice ribbons at the base of the stem.
