1" tall x 18" wide. Silver Nailwort is a tough-as-nails groundcover with tiny green thyme-like leaves and silver seed heads that look like white flowers. Recommended as an improved substitute for white thyme because it's more durable and drought tolerant. Drought resistant/drought tolerant plant (xeric).
We'll let you know when the product is back in stock so you don't miss it.
Overall rating: 5.0 / 5 from 4 reviews.

Great Evergreen trailing low groundcover
"Fantastic plant dense enough to crowd out weeds. Better than thyme with interesting bracts. Tough, drought tolerant, taking hot sun. Excellent growing over a rock wall although a little slow growing. Evergreen looks good year round."
— Yosemite G. (5/5)
This stuff is incredible
"I tossed two of these between my sidewalk and my garden and then forgot about them all summer (planted in May, now it's mid-September). It's a western facing site with heavy silt soil that bakes in the evening sun. They are walked on, peed on, and this winter, they'll likely get some salty road water, too. I live in the black hills in south dakota HZ4b-5a, and we had a low-water year. I don't water the area. The other day I walked past them, and they are happily creeping along, covering rocks and shimmering with this pretty olive color. Without a bloom, these lil guys are really understated in a charming way. Sometimes it's nice to have something a little less garish in the garden. We'll see how they handle the winter snow and water, but so far so good. I recommend removing all the mulch around them, as the two that were planted on bare earth spread much faster than the third placed in a raised bed surrounded by mulch."
— Chel M. (5/5)
Love this tough little plant
"This little plant is great! It beats the socks off of the Arenaria (which died immediately). It continues to thrive between flagstones and gets better and spreads nicely. I like it!"
— Catherine (5/5)
Great ground cover.
"This is a dainty ground cover that has not spread as much as the Creeping Thyme in my garden. It adds a soft green bed and is blooming a very soft yellow right now (Spring)"
Native to the Pyrenees of southern Europe, Paronychia is a tough-as-nails groundcover that very closely resembles Creeping Thyme. However, we have found it to be much more xeric. It is resistant to fungal diseases of the stems and foliage and is very tolerant of dry winter conditions. As such, we are recommending it as a replacement for white-flowered thyme. Blooming in late spring, the flowers are insignificant, but the white bracts light up the plant for several months. Can tolerate occasional foot traffic. (cutting propagated)
Planting & Care
Paronychia (Nailwort) - A low-growing groundcover native to limestone areas of the Pyrenees and Alp mountain ranges of Europe.
Preferred growing conditions
Plant in low fertility ("lean"), fast-draining soil in a full sun location. Avoid clay. Mulch with gravel or not at all.
Water regularly the first growing season to establish the plant. Thereafter, infrequent but deep watering is all this plant needs.
Deadheading is not needed.
Fertilize lightly in the fall with Yum Yum Mix.
Special comments
Paronychia is an evergreen, mat-forming plant that needs little pruning or clipping. The white flowers quickly form showy white seed heads which stay on the plant for many months. Old seed heads can be scratched loose and swept or blown off (with a leaf blower) in late summer.
