Add item to quote to see pricing

Verbesina virginica is an extraordinary perennial shrub, better known as Frostweed. Renowned for its elegant elevation, the Frostweed can stand majestically up to 3 to 6 feet tall. Displaying an enchanting Summer spectacle, this robust plant adorns itself in dainty white clusters of daisy-like blooms, bringing with it a flurry of pollinators. Emphasizing its allure are the large, lance-shaped green leaves that offer an artistic show during colder months. As temperatures drop, they exude water that freezes into unique ribbon-like 'frost-flowers' at the base, crafting a winter wonderland right at your doorstep. Frostweed basks in full to part sun exposure and is satisfied with moderate water usage, demonstrating its relative independence once established. As it thrives in well-drained soil, it is a versatile addition for border accents, meadow landscapes, and naturalized areas. Plus, its inherent ability to handle dry conditions and resistance to deer make it a landscape champion. Choose Frostweed, an intriguing blend of natural beauty and sturdy hardiness, to bring a striking aesthetic to your garden year-round.
