Quick Overview:

In the wild, American snowbell is found from Virginia south to Florida and east to Texas occurring mainly in damp to swampy spots. In the garden, it is easy to grow in most spots, tolerating heavy clay or sandy soils. It prefers regular summer moisture but is quite tolerant once established and may be a good candidate for rain gardens. The selection ‘Baby Blue’ is difficult to find in the trade. Spring foliage and new growth through the season is colored silvery-blue. The color is especially nice lighting up a slightly shaded spot in the garden.
