Pearlwort

From LoveToKnow Garden

Pearlwort (Sagina) - The only species worthy of culture is the Lawn Pearlwort (S. glabra), a plant generally known in consequence of its failure some years since as a substitute for lawn grass, though it has not answered expectations. It is none the less a pretty little alpine plant, forming on level soils carpets almost as smooth as velvet, starred in early summer with little white flowers. It is multiplied by pulling the tufts into small pieces and then replanting them a few inches apart, when they soon meet and form a carpet. Corsica. Syn., Spergula pilifera.
