Gray chickweed
Cerastium brachypetalum
Gray chickweed is a low-growing perennial that thrives in well-drained soils and tolerates a wide range of light conditions from full sun to partial shade. It produces small white flowers and soft, hairy gray-green foliage that adds texture to rock gardens or borders. Minimal care is needed once established, making it a great fuss-free addition to naturalistic or cottage-style plantings.
