Everwilde Farms - 2000 Snow-in-Summer Wildflower Seeds - Gold Vault Jumbo Seed Packet

This native plant originated in the high altitudes of Eastern Europe, specifically the mountain ranges of Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula. It was first described by Augustin Pyramus de Candolle, a noted Swiss botanist who recorded hundreds of species. The species name “biebersteinii” honors the man who provided Candolle with the seeds, a German botanist by the name of Friedrich August Marschall von Bieberstein. Its silvery, felted foliage and low-growing, spreading habit make this an attractive and hardy ground cover.
