A very classy little alpine or rock garden plant. his forms a low evergreen cushion of dark green leaves, bearing loads of rather large white flowers during the spring months. In sandy soils, this will root and spread slowly to form a patch. Great for edging paths, between flagstones, in walls or trough gardens. Requires a well-drained site. Easily divided in spring or early fall. Drought tolerant, once established.
