Excellent small scale ground cover, tiny silver leaves on a mat forming, mostly evergreen perennial, ultimately about 2' wide. Little white star flowers float over the foliage in summer. Well behaved and stays where you put it. RARE! Easy, persistent. long lived (where have you been all my life?) – sun to light shade, reasonable drainage, some summer water.
