An extremely popular groundcover plant, this forms a very low moss-like carpet of bright shamrock-green foliage. Tiny little white flowers begin to appear in late spring. Excellent for filling in between the cracks of flagstone paving, in the rock garden or as a lawn substitute. Dislikes both drought and soggy wet soils. Easily divided in early spring or fall by ripping up the clump into smaller pieces. In hot, humid summer regions, this sometimes melts out and becomes unattractive in mid-summer, usually reviving in the fall. Not a good choice for full shade. Evergreen.

As with all living things, no two plants are alike and, therefore, may not be exactly as shown. There will be some natural variation in size, shape, and characteristics. May be in stages of flowering upon purchase.
