Low growing and durable, ‘Whitewater’ is a vigorous semi-evergreen plant forming a dense carpet of small glistening white flowers borne on creeping, wiry stems.  Even when not covered with flowers, his plant remains attractive due to its lush foliage of small, lance-shaped, deep green leaves. The foliage turns from an attractive green to burgundy to bronze in the fall.  Will tolerate some foot traffic.  After the main flush of bloom, a sparse, intermittent rebloom may continue throughout the remaining part of the summer.
