In the variety pulverulenta the leaves are almost white and covered with a mealy glaucescence; flowers, white and wax-like in form, like those of Lily of the Valley, come in summer in beautiful loose drooping clusters. A well-flowered plant is charming, and lasts for some weeks is charming, and lasts for some weeks in beauty, thriving in a peaty soil. It comes from the southern United States, and is therefore not absolutely hardy. In nurseries it is known as Andromeda cassiniaefolia and A. speciosa, and its variety Z. pulverulenta as A. dealbata and A. pulverulenta.
