About Snow in Summer and growing it in Alberta

Thriving in full sun and dry, sandy soils, it is perfect for rock gardens, slopes, borders, and edging. Highly drought tolerant and fast-spreading, it offers effective erosion control and long-lasting seasonal interest. While generally easy to maintain, it may be susceptible to crown rot in poorly drained or overly wet conditions.
