Key Features
This versatile ground cover plant offers year-round interest with its spreading habit and seasonal displays. The white flowers appear in spring, creating a delicate carpet of blooms that attract pollinators to your garden.

The plant tolerates all soil types, from clay to sandy conditions, and performs equally well in full sun or partial shade.

Use it on slopes for erosion control, as edging along pathways, or to fill gaps between larger shrubs. The low-growing habit requires minimal maintenance once established, reducing the need for frequent garden upkeep.
