Cerastium glomeratum, commonly known as sticky mouse-ear chickweed, is a low-growing perennial plant with small white flowers. Native to Europe, it has spread to other regions as well. This plant gets its name from the sticky hairs on its stems and leaves, giving it a slightly fuzzy texture. Cerastium glomeratum is often found in lawns, meadows, and open grassy areas. It is valued for its delicate beauty and ability to form dense mats of foliage. This plant is easy to grow and can be a charming addition to rock gardens or as ground cover in sunny areas.
