Description
Cerastium tomentosum var. columnae (Snow-in-Summer) is a low-growing, silvery groundcover prized for its soft, woolly foliage that forms a dense, bright mat and quickly fills gaps along borders, slopes, and rock gardens. In late spring to early summer, it produces a profusion of small, starry white flowers that create a striking snowy effect above the foliage. It typically reaches about 6-8 in. tall in bloom and spreads 12-24 in. wide, making it ideal for edging and erosion control. For best results, plant in full sun and well-drained, even gravelly or sandy soil; it's drought-tolerant once established and dislikes wet, heavy ground. Maintenance is simple water occasionally during prolonged dry spells, avoid rich fertilizing, and shear back after flowering to encourage fresh growth and keep the plant tidy. With its high contrast color, long-lasting foliage interest, and easy-care nature, its a dependable choice for sunny, low-maintenance landscapes.
