Spring Sowed Snow in Summer

11 years ago

I was thinking of using the snow in summer as a ground cover for an area that has a pussy willow hedge. The hedge is white-green-pink in color. My question is do you think the snow in summer would be a good choice (color) for this or not? Thanks so much.

Absolutely! I love SIS because it looks good all season here in the north. Not sure what zone you're in but if it performs in a like manner I say go for it.

I wasnt sure if the grayish color of snow in summer ground cover would compliment the pussy willow hedge bush.
