Snow in Summer (Cerastium tomentosum) Plant

Snow in Summer (Cerastium tomentosum) Plant - Flowering Plants. The Snow in Summer botanically belongs to the family of Carnation (Caryophyllaceae) and originates from the Alpine regions of the European continent. It is a herbaceous, perennial and evergreen or semi-evergreen plant, with a fast growth rate, a creeping habit, a dense canopy and a height of about 30 cm. The leaves are greyish-silver in colour, simple, lanceolate or oblong, with undulate margins. The abundant main flowering occurs from about late spring to early summer. The flowers are white, and are borne up to about 15 on a cyme inflorescence. The Snow in Summer is an easy-to-grow plant, adaptable to a variety of soil types and environments. Among other things, it can withstand very low temperatures and drought. However, it establishes itself more quickly in sandy or gravelly soils, with excellent drainage, and in places with full exposure to the sun. It can be used in many ways, such as as a ground cover plant, for soil retention planted on slopes at risk of erosion, in borders and even in rock gardens.

► It is offered at a price determined by the particular characteristics of the plant, such as the size of the pot, its height, age and shape. Large plants are also available for sale (and planting) upon prior arrangement. In any case, the price or prices listed are indicative.
