Snow In Summer
May 1, 2010
There is a wonderful perennial called “Snow In Summer” (Cerastitum biebersteini) it is a cascading rock wall plant with gray felty leaves and an abundance of white flowers in -well, in summer, May and June. It is mat forming and requires sandy or well drained soils.
After it flushes out with it’s masses of white flowers it needs to be trimmed back to keep it tidy and to avoid and die back of the foliage.
Snow in Summer
but, there is another Snow in Summer I am familiar with,
As the petals of this Crab Apple fall each season, I can sit in the warm sunshine and enjoy they snow fall as my garden gets polka-dotted by the soft white petals.
