Silver Carpet Cerastium

Silver Carpet Cerastium is a charming little ground cover that is quite versatile and extremely cold hardy. It can be grown as a small-scale ground cover, in between pavers or trailing a bit over a wall, so long as it is planted in full sun with well-draining, not overly enriched soil. Bright white flowers appear in early summer and contrast beautifully with the silver foliage.
