snow-in-summer
Silver-leafed perennial mat
Snow-in-summer is a low-growing plant with silvery-gray foliage and small white flowers that bloom profusely in late spring and early summer.
The name describes its appearance when flowering—the dense white blooms create the effect of snow covering the ground.
It spreads readily and is often used as ground cover in rock gardens and borders.
