This natural beauty sports a just-blown-in appearance, forming a big billowy mass of small white daisy-shaped flowers and tasteful linear gray-green foliage. Innumerable yellow-eyed 'asteroides' shoot straight up on tall sturdy stems that seldom need staking and assert a strong vertical element. Cold hardy 'Snowbank' can be associated with Helenium 'Rubinzwerg', Kniphofia 'Yellow Cheer' and Helianthus 'Dakota Queen' for a big boisterous late season gathering.
