Cerastium tomentosum, commonly known as Snow-in-Summer, is a low-growing, spreading perennial that forms a dense mat of silvery-grey, fuzzy foliage. In late spring to early summer, it produces a profusion of small, white, star-shaped flowers that create a bright, airy carpet of blooms. Ideal for groundcover, rock gardens, or borders, this hardy plant thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, offering excellent drought tolerance once established. Cerastium tomentosum is easy to care for, attracts pollinators, and provides long-lasting beauty with its crisp white flowers and silvery foliage, making it a perfect addition to any garden.
