Overview
Céraiste Velouté (Cerastium velutinum var. velutinum) is an evergreen perennial plant with a woody base. It produces attractive mounding mats of small, glossy, dark green foliage growing to 8 inches tall. From mid-spring to early summer, this species produces star-shaped white to pink flowers. It prefers well-drained soils and partial to full sun. Pruning can be done in early spring or fall to keep this plant from becoming sparse behind the foliage.
