In late spring it disappears under a blanket of pure white, star-shaped flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter bloom, the dense silver foliage keeps its shape and color through summer and into late fall. It stays just 4 to 6 inches tall and spreads over 2 feet wide, compact with thick leaves and large flowers, and it thrives on slopes, in rock gardens, along stone walls and in dry, sunny spots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA low, dense, spreading mat about 4 to 6 inches tall and 26 to 32 inches wide. Leaves are narrow, about three-quarters of an inch long, thick and woolly, in an intense silver-white that reads almost frosted. In late spring, short stems hold masses of star-shaped white flowers about three-quarters of an inch across, each with five notched petals and a small yellow-green center. At peak bloom the silver carpet is completely covered in bright white flowers like a layer of fresh snow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt loves the same full sun and lean, gravelly soil as lavender, and its silver mat and white late-spring flowers make a bright, low carpet in front of lavender before lavender begins to bloom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant in full sun in lean to average soil with sharp drainage; it handles drought well once established and dislikes wet feet. Hardy in zones 3-7. Shear lightly after flowering to keep the mat dense and tidy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cerastium tomentosum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pure white\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver-white\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low, spreading mat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4–6 in tall × 26–32 in wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA hardiness zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3–7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom start:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late-May\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeak bloom:\u003c\/strong\u003e Early-June\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Flush\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeer resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollinator value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizes and shipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne full 72-cell plug tray: 72 young starter plugs of this variety (cells about 1⅓ in. wide × 2½ in. deep), rooted and ready to pot up into quarts or gallons.
