Cerastium tomentosum, commonly known as Snow-In-Summer, is a captivating low-growing, short-lived perennial that bursts into a profusion of star-like, immaculate white flowers in late spring and early summer. The luminous blooms, adorned by notched petals, sit atop a dense carpet of silvery-gray, evergreen foliage, providing a striking contrast that lights up any garden space. This winter hardy plant, growing only 6-12 inches tall and spreading 6-18 inches, thrives in full sun and dry, sandy, well-drained soil conditions. Despite tolerating a wide range of soils, it cannot withstand poorly-drained soils. High summer heat and humidity are also not ideal, but it's quite resistant to drought. This plant's cascading habit makes it an excellent choice for decorating stone walls, while its deer resistance lends it perfect for border fronts, rock gardens, or as ground cover in sunny areas. Be aware, Cerastium tomentosum can reseed itself if spent blooms are not removed. Shearing off flower stems post blooming can curb self-seeding and keep the plant tidy. You can easily divide it during spring or fall if needed for larger coverage. Enjoy the serene beauty of 'Snow in Summer' in your garden!
