| I have an area that I want covered with ground cover. I have catmint that is very aggressive and Snow in Summer. Curious which one you think will win out. I think they might look good mingling together. Your thoughts? Thanks |

| That's funny, David, since I was going to say the catmint. I have to beat back my catmint which grows vigorously, roots where stems touch down, and seeds modestly, but smothers everything it grows near. In my garden the Snow in Summer/Cerastium doesn't get tall enough to emerge from under the Catmint/Nepeta which makes a 3'x3'x2' tall mound before it starts stem rooting and seeding. Cerastium always sort of faded out in the summer here, though it would return in the spring. I guess it's differences in climate and soil. |

| I was going to say catmint too. I've had both and the Snow in Summer lost a lot of it's foliage after winter here and looked so scraggly that I took it out. |
