Arenaria montana

Perfect for softening edges or brightening dry spots, Arenaria montana is a subtle workhorse that thrives where others falter. With its low, spreading habit and clean white flowers, this hardy perennial offers a gentle lift just as spring begins to give way to early summer.

Our range of Arenaria is grown in Ireland and therefore well-adapted to local conditions. Forming compact cushions of deep green evergreen foliage, they create a tidy, textured base even when not in bloom. From late spring, small, starry blossoms bring a quiet brightness to borders, gravel gardens and alpine spaces alike.

Preferring full sun and well-drained soil, our Arenaria plants are reliable through Ireland's wetter winters and tolerate leaner soils once established. We love to use it in containers or tucked into crevices in stonework, where its neat form can really shine.

Whether used to weave continuity through a rock garden or to bring a touch of calm contrast at the front of a mixed border, Arenaria montana earns its place quietly - dependable, resilient and naturally refined.
