Much like baby’s breath acts as a filler and a foil in a flower arrangement, I find that the smaller flowered sandworts add a very important texture like that in the crevice and rock garden. The foliage also looks great year around, with tidy clumps of silver-grey spiky leaves. They are tough and undemanding making them a staple in the dryland garden

Cultivated for its resilience and ability to thrive in challenging environments, Arenaria acerosa is an excellent choice for gardens with poor, sandy soils and low water availability. Its adaptability extends to various landscaping styles, including rock gardens, coastal gardens, and alpine landscapes. With minimal maintenance requirements and a penchant for full sun exposure, Sandwort offers both aesthetic appeal and practicality, making it a valuable addition to garden designs focused on sustainability and water conservation
