- Low growing evergreen ground cover
- White flowers late Spring through Summer
- Drought tolerant once established
Arenaria montana, commonly called Mountain Sandwort, is a charming evergreen perennial prized for its low, spreading habit and bright white flowers. Forming dense mats of narrow green leaves, it creates a neat groundcover ideal for rock gardens, borders, and edging paths. In late spring to early summer, abundant star-shaped blooms appear, often with a soft yellow center, covering the plant in crisp color. Native to southwestern Europe, it prefers full sun and well-drained, gritty soil. Drought tolerant once established, Arenaria montana is hardy, tidy, and easy to maintain, making it excellent for slopes, containers, and low maintenance landscapes everywhere gardens.
