CERASTIUM tomentosum
.jpg "CERASTIUM tomentosum")
double flowering may bush
Multi-stemmed semi-deciduous shrub to 1.2 m high and wide with arching branches covered in masses of double white flowers in spring.
There are 60 or so species of Cerastium in temperate parts of the world, and a number of the perennial varieties are now widely used as ground covers or rockery plants. All are frost tolerant and do best in an airy position in full sun. Like most low silver leafed plants it is best to avoid overhead watering as the foliage may become mildewed. Cerastium tomentosum is a particularly useful perennial for well drained banks or rockeries, growing to about 12 cm in height it will spread indefinitely.
