Cerastium tomentosum, commonly known as snow-in-summer, is a perennial ground cover plant ideal for dry, sunny locations. It forms dense mats of silvery, evergreen leaves and produces star-shaped white flowers in summer. Even if neglected, it will spread and survive in difficult conditions with its drought tolerance. It can be used as a ground cover paired with other drought-resistant plants and provides floral interest from late spring to midsummer.
