Cerastium tomentosum

Is snow in summer the common name for cerastium tomentosum. I want to buy this for our rockery and don't want to buy the wrong seeds. Sorry about the bolt type but I can't seem to change it and don't know why..

In a word yes but common names can be shared between many plants.

Thanks wild edge and thanks for the web page.

Yes it is, but be warned, "vigorous" is an understatement - it's a thug, so be careful not to put it near more delicate alpines.  I have it in the base of a privet hedge, and even there it spreads.

Thanks JennyJ will need to keep an eye on it.
