Why Choose Cerastium for Your Garden
Cerastium is valued for its quick-spreading growth, soft silver leaves, and star-shaped white flowers that appear in early summer. It creates a dense mat that suppresses weeds, fills gaps, and adds year-round interest to rockeries, retaining walls, and garden borders. For gardeners wanting both beauty and easy care, Cerastium is an ideal groundcover solution.
How to Grow Cerastium Successfully
This plant thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, tolerating poor conditions and even coastal exposure. Once established, Cerastium requires little water and is drought-tolerant, making it suitable for low-maintenance gardens throughout New Zealand. Its adaptability means it performs equally well in rock gardens, containers, or as a border filler.
Caring for Cerastium in NZ Conditions
Cerastium is very low-maintenance, needing only light pruning after flowering to keep it neat and to encourage fresh growth. Over time, clumps may be divided to refresh the plant and control spreading. With minimal input, this groundcover will reward you with consistent performance and an attractive carpet of silver and white.
Landscaping Ideas with Cerastium
Cerastium looks stunning when planted en masse, spilling over walls, or weaving through other perennials for contrast. Its silver foliage pairs beautifully with bold-coloured flowers and green-leaved plants, adding depth and texture to any planting scheme. It is equally effective in cottage gardens, contemporary designs, or as a soft edging plant.
