It stays near 10cm high and spreads up to 1m, pouring out small snow white flowers from summer to autumn over a mounding, trailing habit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy you'll love it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA white cascade.\u003c\/strong\u003e Small snow white flowers cover the plant from summer into autumn, so a basket looks like a cascade of blooms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow and spreading.\u003c\/strong\u003e At 10cm high and up to 1m wide it trails over edges rather than climbing, and mounds neatly in the middle of a pot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuick to fill out.\u003c\/strong\u003e Growth is fast, and a small plant becomes a full basket or a good patch of cover within one season.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight care.\u003c\/strong\u003e Regular water, a monthly liquid feed through the warm months and a clip in autumn keep it flowering.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it works best\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHanging baskets and window boxes.\u003c\/strong\u003e Plant one in a 30cm basket, or space plants 30cm apart along a window box.

Snowtopia is frost tender, so bring it indoors once temperatures drop below about 10C. In subtropical and warm temperate gardens it can stay out for much of the year, and cooler regions treat it as a summer and autumn plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil.\u003c\/strong\u003e Free draining soil is the one real requirement.

Plant 50cm apart and it forms a loose flowering mat up to 1m across. It is not a lawn substitute and will not tolerate being walked on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it need to come inside in winter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn frosty or cold districts, yes.
