A carpeting, low-growing evergreen perennial, the mountain sandwort has delicate, pure white flowers that smother a green cushion of lance-shaped leaves between May and June. Used to great effect when massed together for planting green walls and roofs, 'Snow White' is a shallow rooting, award-winning plant, that's also perfect for rockeries and containers.
Mountain sandwort prefers free draining soil in full sun and does not perform well in excessively wet conditions in winter. Cut back after flowering to maintain compact form - and feed with liquid seaweed fertiliser every month throughout the summer months.
