subject: Using Snow-in-summer Plants In Your Desert Landscape [print this page] If you live in the desert then you know that there are a limited number of plants that you can use in your garden or landscape. This summer if you are looking for something new and unique you should try the Snow-In-Summer plant. It is a lovely perennial flower variety.
In the desert many homeowners want to add colorful flowers to their lawns to help contrast the dry, monotone colors of the desert. Perennial flowers are popular plants in desert landscape designs because they add a burst of color and because they are drought tolerant. But typically, homeowners choose the yellow, orange, and red varieties.
This summer if you want to add a different look to your desert landscape then you should try the Snow-In-Summer perennial plant. It blooms all over with stunning white flowers and wool-like, silvery foliage. This particular perennial garden plant will spread quickly around your yard because it reseeds itself and produces runners.
The plant gives a really bright and delicate look to desert landscapes and is easy to maintain. Since the plant is drought tolerant, loves the sun, and can thrive in poor soil it is perfect for the desert and doesn't require much upkeep. Plus in the hot desert sun, very few homeowners want to have to deal with plants that are not self-sufficient.
Typically, the plants will dump their white blooms at the beginning of summer, so to keep them up all you have to do is trim away any faded blooms along with a bit of the foliage. It they are properly pruned they will look gorgeous all summer long.
You can create a "silver carpet" ground covering affect with these perennials because they form a dense mat of flowers. You can also keep them in one specific part of your garden or landscape. For instance, they are often used as a border plant, as well as in rock gardens.
Where ever you place these lovely perennial flowers, they will add a delicate, winter-like touch to your landscape. And with little effort the plants will thrive and keep your landscape looking beautiful ever summer for years to come.
