Perfect ground cover, in rock gardens, borders and edging. Sow outdoors or start indoors and transplant. 30cm (12") Snow-in-summer is a perennial flower that gets its common name from its blooming habit. It blooms profusely in the early summer, with a blanket of notched pristine white flowers that suggest a fresh snowfall. But the name does not tell the whole story. This ground cover, a member of the carnation family, is just as admired for its delicate, woolly, silver leaves as for its charming flowers. These leaves spread a mat of foliage from which flower stems rise in late spring/early summer. Snow-in-summer spreads quickly by reseeding and by producing runners when grown in favorable conditions. Newly germinated seedlings should be planted in early spring. Moderate-growing snow-in-summer makes an excellent ground cover for dry, sunny areas. It is deer resistant and often used in rock gardens or as a cover to fill in after spring bulbs are finished Growing from seed Can be started directly outdoors in the early spring just before the final frost, or for early flowers, they should be started about 8 weeks before the final spring frost. Sow the seeds and cover with soil (3mm (1/8"). Germination takes 7-14 days at 18-22C (64-72F). Once seedlings are ready, harden off and transplant one week after final frost. Water regularly, but do not overwater. =s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s==s=s=s=s=s=s=s= Free shipping to Canada- and USA Selected seeds only Add this item to your cart and keep shopping-- at https://www.ebay.ca/usr/okiger-2i55iwk =s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s==s=s=s=s=s=s=s= Shipping of Seeds and Cuttings: Orders are shipped via Canada Post Mail unless otherwise specified.
