Snowlover

Snowlover is a perennial herb thriving in alpine and subalpine environments, typically found in North America's mountainous regions. These plants are adapted to cold, snowy habitats, showing off a compact, low-growing form which helps reduce frost exposure. Their leaves are generally dense and sometimes hairy, an adaptation likely to conserve warmth. Delicate, small flowers usually bloom white or pale, blending seamlessly with their snowy surroundings.
