Cerastium tomentosum 'YoYo' - Yo Yo Snow in Summer

Yo Yo Snow in Summer is a compact herbaceous perennial that forms a dense mat of fine silver green foliage.  The abundant petite white flowers nearly coat the foliage from late spring to early summer.  Flowers best in full sun and dry, well-drained sandy soils.  Yo Yo has a more restrained growth making spread easier to control.

MAINTENANCE NEEDS: Low maintenance.  No serious pests or diseases. Damping off may occur in climates with high humidity or locations with too much shade.  Root rot may occur in poorly drained soil or soils that stay damp. Foliage may decline in hot summers.  As a short lived perennial, dead patches may appear after a couple of years.
