Awl-leaf pearlwort is a mat-forming evergreen perennial native to Europe. Its moss-like carpets of rich green, pointed leaves are spangled in summer with tiny white flowers. It prefers moist, well drained soil with protection from hot sunlight. Tolerant of foot traffic, it makes a great choice for planting between stepping stones.
