From a distance, one might think that there were masses of snow in Sumter County, but it is already mid-spring. A closer look shows that these white balls of fluff are actually blooming Snow Bird bushes.

Perry Wellness Center founder and CEO Stuart Perry is ready to take at least partial credit for the elegant show of white in many well-kept yards. Snow Birds are among the newest and most popular plants available at Rudy’s Happy Patch Market.

“I know that all of the white mass is not our fault, but many of the plants should be claimed by Happy Patch. Maybe it was the special fertilizer that we use.” Stuart says with a smile. 

For sight-seers who approve of these garden views, check with the market to see if they are currently in stock, as they are going fast. 

“Please come by to enjoy our campus color,” Stuart says.
