I am looking for suggestions for an annual that grows 12 - 18 inches tall and maybe 12 inches wide. I would like it to bloom with lots of white flowers in mid summer. Here is the trick - It will be right next to my raised rose bed and when I drip irrigate that garden lots of water seeps out into this area. So this plant would need to be willing to get a fair amount of water and full sun. I am in New England. Any thoughts?

Well, I tried an Advanced Search within the PDB, and came up with the following:

http://plantsdatabase.com/advanced.php?nn%5B16%5D=2&nn%5B1%5D=3&nn%5B2%5D=0&nn%5B3%5D=0&nn%5B4%5D=2&nn%5B5%5D=0&nn%5B6%5D=26&nn%5B7%5D=0&nn%5B8%5D=0&nn%5B9%5D=6&nn%5B23%5D=0&nn%5B10%5D=0&nn%5B12%5D=0&sname=Plants&Search.x=20&Search.y=14

I also wonder if Cerastium tomentosum ("Snow in Summer"): http://plantsdatabase.com/go/728/index.html would work...

There's also a white double-flowered variety of Saponaria (soapwort) 'Alba Plena' is the correct name, I think...

Feverfew will do this also.
