Cerastium

Cerastium also Known as snow-in-summer, is a low-growing, mat-forming perennial which is typically massed in sunny locations as a ground cover.  Tufts of narrow, gray-green leaves form a 6-12 inch tall foliage mat.  Best grown in dry, sandy, well-drained soils in full sun. Tolerates a  wide range of soils.  Grows well in cool summer climates. Spreads by runners to fill in areas.  Plants will self-seed in the garden if spent blooms are not removed.  Large beds can be mowed on a high setting.  Plugs can be planted 9-12” apart to quickly cover large areas.
