This wonderfully fragrant, garden classic has been upgraded to a non-stop bloomer with clusters of pristine white flowers over a dense carpet of evergreen foliage that makes an excellent groundcover for dry, sunny areas or in the rock garden.

Plant in well-drained to dry, nutrient rich soil amended with organic matter like Petitti Planting Mix. Water well after planting; maintain 1” of water, once a week the first year. Use Plant-tone and Iron-tone in spring or at planting; apply Osmocote in summer. Shear spent flowers back to basal foliage. Mulch 1-2” to suppress weeds and retain soil moisture. Divide in fall when necessary.
