Growing & Maintenance Tips for Cerastium 'Cloud Cover'
Cerastium should be planted in full sun and poor, well-drained soil. When grown in moist, rich soil, it will spread very rapidly and be hard to contain. The foliage should be trimmed back after the plant is finished blooming to promote more compact growth. It may divided any time during the growing season.
