'Snow Queen' was awarded the RHS Award of Garden Merit, for its multi season display. The dark green heavily textured foliage serves as an elegant backdrop for 20 cm tall conical flowerheads made up of numerous large white florets. Over time these take on hints of pink as Autumn approaches. As the flowers fade, the oak-like leaves jump to the forefront in tones of red and burgundy, for a spectacular Fall finish.
