Arenaria montana, the mountain sandwort, is native to mountainous regions of southwestern Europe, from the Pyrenees to Portugal. It is an evergreen perennial growing 14-22cm, 6-9" tall, with green to grayish-green opposite leaves. From mid to late Spring it produces dense clumps of white 25 mm (1 in) flowers each.

Arenaria montana prefers well drained, sandy to sandy loam soils, with average to above average moisture levels.

This plant has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.

These seeds are in very limited supply.

Type: Perennial

Hardiness zones: 3-8

Location: Full sun or part shade

Height: 14-22cm, 6-9"

Seeds per packet: 10

Germination: Sow the seeds just under the surface and water in. Leave them at room temperature for 4 weeks. This helps break the phytohormones which inhibit germination. They will not grow yet. Then a cooling period is required. Cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 6 weeks. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold-moist stratification period they are then brought back to a cool room (15-18C, 59-68F) for them to germinate. Germination can be erratic, generally 30-90 days after the warming period, though some can take longer.
