Arenaria tetraquetra subsp. granatensis subsp. granatensis

<p><strong>The <em><a href="https://en.promessedefleurs.eu/perennials/perennials-by-variety/arenaria.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Arenaria</a></em>, or Sandwort, is one of those alpine perennials</strong>, accustomed to growing at high altitudes, and therefore <strong>hardy</strong>. An easy-going plant, <strong>it forms low cushions</strong> of more or less greyish green, covered with <strong>small white flowers over a long period</strong>, between spring and summer. <strong>Evergreen</strong>, it remains interesting all year round and asserts its presence when many other plants are dormant. <strong>Ideal for rock gardens</strong>, it tolerates almost all <strong>soils that aren’t too chalky</strong>, as long as they are <strong>perfectly drained in winter</strong> and <strong>retain some moisture during the growing season</strong>. As it dislikes summer drought and root competition, an open, bright but not scorching position is preferable. It can thus grow <strong>in full sun or partial shade</strong> depending on the region where it’s cultivated. It’s an excellent choice <strong>for rock gardens, edging borders or softening paving</strong>. It also performs well when grown in containers.</strong></p>
