Description
Brighten your garden with effortless elegance. Every spring, this groundcover erupts into a brilliant carpet of white blooms that attracts pollinators. Once established, it is highly drought-tolerant, deer-resistant, and low maintenance—practically takes care of itself. Enjoy rich green foliage all winter long for worry-free, year-round beauty!
Plant Care
Water
Water 1–2x/week until established. Once mature, water only during droughts. It needs well-draining soil to prevent root rot.
Fertilizer
Apply a lower nitrogen fertilizer like 5-10-10 once a year in early spring just as new growth begins
Pruning
For the best results, shear the plant back by one-third immediately after the spring flowers fade. This removes spent blooms, maintains a neat shape, and encourages a potential second bloom in early autumn.
Seasons of Interest
Spring
Explodes with dense carpets of brilliant white flowers.
Summer
Serves as a neat, low-growing green groundcover, with a potential minor rebloom in early autumn if pruned properly.
Winter
Keeps its rich, dark green foliage alive and vibrant when most other perennials die back.
