Notes

'Snow Fairy' bluebeard (Tripora divaricata 'Snow Fairy') is a perennial for borders, containers, and xeriscape beds. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. It blooms in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn, and butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the fragrant flowers.

Pairs well with May Night salvia, Lemon thyme, and Karl Foerster feather reed grass.
