Cerastium tomentosum, commonly called Snow in Summer, is a vigorous, mat-forming perennial legendary for its ability to blanket open garden spaces in a dazzling drift of pure white blossoms. True to its name, it pairs dense, velvety, felt-textured silver foliage with an overwhelming eruption of star-like white blooms. It is the perfect choice for cascading over dry stone walls, filling sunny rockeries, or acting as an aggressive, weed-suppressing ground cover for problem area. A very easy plant to grow, the plant lives up to its common name by completely hiding its foliage beneath a thick, uniform sheet of white blossoms!
