Arenaria montana Mountain Sandwort is a compact, hardy alpine plant that forms a soft, evergreen cushion. It’s a alpine groundcover with a natural, restrained habit that fits small spaces beautifully.
Its tiny white blooms brighten rocky soils and sun-drenched slopes, offering a gentle, seasonal touch. This sun-loving plant thrives in well-drained beds where it can fan out with a delicate, low-growing profile.
Grows well in troughs and rock gardens, tolerating cold and drought once established. A reliable, versatile choice for naturalistic landscapes and stone settings, bringing subtle spring charm to the garden.
Care
Arenaria montana loves gritty, well-drained soil in full sun. Plant in rock gardens or borders, water moderately while establishing, then water sparingly to avoid soggy roots.
Watering
Deeply water when the topsoil dries; avoid overwatering. A light mulch helps retain moisture without keeping the roots wet.
Maintenance
Lightly shear after flowering and remove spent blooms. Divide every 3–4 years to maintain compact mats.
Location
Choose sunny, sheltered sites with good drainage; tolerates alkaline to neutral soils. Avoid heavy clay.
