Felty bugleweed is a decorative cushion perennial with enchanting white flowers

This attractive ground cover looks like a white cloud during flowering time from May to June and attracts admiring glances every time. Cerastium originates from Southern Europe and is now a popular garden plant for the ornamental garden in different varieties. The cushion perennial belongs to the carnation family. It grows creeping and is only ten to 20 centimetres tall. The felty bugleweed is not only a highlight in the garden at flowering time. With its silvery-green leaves, the winter-green bugleweed decorates the garden all year round and fits into any garden concept. It fits into modern city gardens as well as country house gardens. This ground cover is versatile and completely uncomplicated. It suppresses noxious weeds and its cushiony growth also covers up unsightly areas in the garden.

Leaves and foliage

The felty hornwort adorns itself in spring with funnel-shaped white star-shaped flowers. They grow like umbels and are so numerous on the tender shoots that the plant covers the ground like a white snowdrift. The flowers magically attract bees, bumblebees and butterflies with their delicate fragrance. What a sight the hornwort offers! The perennial also fulfils an important ecological function for our native insect world. It is no wonder that the hornwort is one of the most beautiful and popular cushion plants in our gardens.

Location and care

The small-growing plant likes it sunny. Hornwort grows best in a water-permeable, nutrient-rich, somewhat loamy and sandy soil. The plant is perfect for the rock garden. It fills planting holes in beds and beautifies borders, open spaces, dry stone walls or wall tops. The cerastium plant is a botanical all-rounder. The ground cover is robust and easy to care for. When you buy a hornwort, you can plant it all year round. Loosen the soil a little before planting. After planting, water the soil sufficiently. Silver bugleweed looks best in a group of plants. This is when the perennial is at its best and becomes a radiant eye-catcher. Up to twelve plants can be planted per square metre. This gives the plants enough space to develop. In order for a dense carpet of foliage to gradually form, it is advisable to cut off the faded leaves. Then all the plant's energy goes into its growth and not into seed formation. The plant is hardy and does not need any special protection. The decorative ground cover can be combined with numerous plants. Great companions for the cushion perennial are low-growing bellflowers, soapwort or small-flowered carnations
