Step-by-Step Planting & Care Guide

Gardening shouldn’t be a chore! Follow these simple steps to keep your “Snow Carpet” looking like a professional floral display:

• Sowing: Sprinkle seeds just 1/8 inch deep. You don’t need a PhD in botany to get these to sprout—just a bit of soil, water, and sunshine.

• Watering & Feeding: Keep the soil moist but not soggy. A light dose of balanced fertilizer every 4–6 weeks will keep the blooms coming thick and fast.

• Deadheading: The secret to continuous blooming! Snip off spent flowers occasionally; it’s like giving your plant a “refresh button” that encourages it to keep producing fresh white petals.

• Mulching: A thin layer of mulch around your plants helps retain essential moisture, which is especially helpful during those hot, lazy summer days.

• Pest Defense: These plants are generally tough, but keep an eye out for aphids. A quick touch of insecticidal soap is all it takes to keep your garden guests happy.

• Design Tip: Use them as “edging plants” to give your garden beds a stylish, tidy look. It’s the floral equivalent of a professional haircut!
