Arenaria montana (Mountain Sandwort) 4 in.
A lovely evergreen option for edging a path, filling in between stepping stones as a groundcover, or even in a container, Mountain Sandwort will form a gorgeous, low swath of glossy-green foliage covered in crisp-white, cup-shaped flowers from late spring to early summer.
Each plant will spread out to cover ~12 inches of ground over time, while the flowers will only protrude ~4 to 6 inches high. This drought-tolerant gem is especially great in sandy or nutrient-poor soils, and best in full to part sun. Deer have no interest in munching on this low-growing plant, while pollinators and beneficial insects will appreciate the sweet flowers.
