How to Germinate Snow in Summer

How to Germinate Snow in Summer (Cerastium tomentosum)
  • Sow Snow in Summer seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date or directly outdoors in early spring.
  • Sprinkle seeds on the soil surface and press them down gently. Do not cover the seeds, as they need light to germinate.
  • Maintain a soil temperature of 65-75°F (18-24°C) for optimal germination, which typically takes 14-21 days.
  • Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period.
  • Once seedlings have developed several sets of true leaves, transplant them outdoors, spacing them 12-18 inches apart in a sunny location.

Additional Tips
  • Snow in Summer thrives in full sun and prefers well-draining, sandy, or rocky soil. It tolerates poor soil conditions.
  • Water sparingly once established, as this plant is drought-tolerant and prefers slightly dry conditions.
  • Apply mulch around the base of the plants to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
  • Trim back the plants after flowering to encourage a second bloom and maintain a tidy appearance.
  • Divide clumps every 2-3 years in early spring to promote vigorous growth and prevent overcrowding.
