Sorry should of said similar to this. I wish I knew what it's called.

I have a large clump of this by my pond, friends often ask me what it's called but I cannot remember. It doesn't have grey leaves like the "snow in the summer" that I recall. Bright green and they stay all year round.

I think it's one and the same Callistemon

Is White Rock another name for Snow in Summer?

White Rock has greyish green leaves too.

So that's what it's called. Had loads of it in my childhood home.

Thanks for that, I'm going to go with Snow in Summer, hope it doesn't spread too much more! very pretty though.

Looks like Snow in Summer to me. We have it in our garden. Spreads like wildfire!

Or Aubretia ?

Could be Snow in Summer if the leaves are grey, or creeping phlox? Perhaps a close up of a few flowers might help?

Is it White Rock, a rockery plant ?

I have this pretty white spreading plant in my garden, and I don't know what it is, the underside has greyish stems, any clues? smile
