This plant prefers at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day and grows best in areas that receive plenty of sunshine year-round. If you are planting Snow-in-summer in a spot with partial sun, the flowers will be fewer in number, but you should still get an attractive show of bloom throughout the growing season.

Snow-in-summer (Cerastium tomentosum 'Olympia') can be pruned back in early spring, before new growth emerges. Pruning should be done lightly to remove any dead, damaged, or overgrown stems. Try to leave the center of the plant unpruned, as this helps encourage a full and dense appearance. After the initial pruning, you can prune back any excess growth again in late summer, typically around August, to keep the plant from becoming too large.
