Common name: Frostweed

  • Light: Part shade to shade
  • Water: Moist to average
  • Height: 3–6′
  • Seasonal Interest: In late summer, small, white daisy-like flowers bloom in flat-topped clusters atop the stems and attract many pollinators. In cold winters, the stems can release water that freezes into thin ribbons of ice, which is how the plant gets it name.
  • Growing Tips: Prefers wooded sites or areas with part, open, or dappled shade with moist, well-draining soils high in organic matter. Works well as a background plant in woodland gardens or in more naturalized, wooded areas.
