Vegmo Snow Ball (Tanacetum parthenium) is a charming heirloom perennial that produces masses of perfectly double, snow-white button flowers resembling miniature pompons. Blooming continuously from early summer until frost, the cheerful blossoms rise above fragrant, finely divided bright green foliage, creating a crisp, clean display in cottage gardens, borders, and cutting gardens. This improved selection is prized for its uniform habit, abundant flowering, and exceptional vase life.
Garden Uses:
Vegmo Snow Ball is ideal for cottage gardens, perennial borders, cutting gardens, pollinator plantings, herb gardens, and patio containers. The neat plants provide a bright contrast to colorful summer flowers and make excellent companions for roses, lavender, salvia, coneflowers, yarrow, and ornamental grasses. The long-lasting blooms are highly valued in fresh bouquets and dried flower arrangements.
Growing Information:
Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors after danger of frost has passed. Since seeds require light for best germination, press them gently onto the soil surface without covering. Germination usually occurs within 10-21 days at temperatures between 65-70°F. Plants thrive in full sun and well-drained soil and tolerate average to poor soils once established. Deadheading spent blooms encourages continuous flowering throughout the growing season. Mature plants are drought tolerant and often self-seed lightly under favorable conditions.
