Description

Elegance and style in your own garden with the mountain sandwort 'Summer White'. Enchanting pure white flowers with a yellow center cover the beautiful, strong green foliage. Due to its compact and cushion-forming growth, the foliage is dense and beautiful. Evergreen, it is an ornamental decoration all year round. An undemanding and robust character rounds off the profile of Arenaria montana 'Summer White', as the botanical name suggests. A perennial ideal for group plantings in rock gardens or open spaces. This perennial offers plant lovers wonderful possibilities. Growth plays an important role here. In contrast to many other perennials, the mountain sandwort 'Summer White' grows in a cushion-forming, compact to upright habit. With just 15 to 17 plants per square meter, the perennial offers a wonderful appearance. The plant's foliage is a decisive factor. This is linear, mercilessly matt, coarse and hairy. Evergreen and therefore always fresh, the perennial presents itself with its vibrant green foliage. This makes areas that are planted with it look extremely attractive even in winter. It covers bare patches in the garden in a chic, strong and attractive way. This perennial is particularly eye-catching from May to August. This is when the graceful, pure white cup-shaped flowers bloom in abundance, with the shiny green center of the flowers providing an additional contrast and splash of colour in the green cushion.
