'Silver Carpet' is grown for its thick, soft, velvety, silvery leaves which typically form a rapidly spreading mat approximately 4-6" off the ground. Leaf shape and texture resemble a lamb's ear, hence the common name. This variety is a dwarf, smaller than the old-fashioned variety and is non-flowering (or rarely flowering). It holds up better to heat and humidity, and doesn't require deadheading. Great as a edging, groundcover, or border plant. Requires well drained soils.
