Field chickweed
Cerastium arvense
Field chickweed is a hardy, low-maintenance perennial that thrives in well-drained soil with moderate moisture and full sun to partial shade. Water every 7-10 days during dry spells and avoid overwatering, as it is susceptible to root rot in soggy conditions. It spreads easily and makes a charming ground cover with delicate white star-shaped flowers in spring.
