 I wonder why anyone would want Snow Flurry or why anyone cares about it. 
I went through two in different environments and both died---not from 
neglect. Methinks it is like unto an oral contract===not worth the paper it's 
written on. 
It is quite unattractive. As is Spilt Milk, IMO.

The both of them are way overrated as garden plants. 
 I suspect that the "unusual" variegation is some benign form of virus. I see 
absolutely no reason to try to introduce it into new cultivars.

Jim, you can get a division from Soules Garden--maybe.
