Product Information
We do our best to ensure product descriptions, specifications, care information and other details are accurate and up to date. Information is provided as a general guide and may vary between batches, suppliers, individual plants or product revisions.

Stock availability
Website stock levels update live from our inventory system, but occasional discrepancies can occur due to in-store sales, damage or stock adjustments. This is more likely when only 1 or 2 units are showing as available.

Product images
Images are provided as a visual guide and may not show the exact individual item for sale. Plants can naturally vary in size, fullness, colour, shape and stage of growth, and images may show a mature specimen to demonstrate how a younger plant may develop.

Images are either owned by Kambarang Garden Centre, used under an appropriate licence or with permission, or created with AI assistance. AI imagery is used to improve the background of existing photos, and to provide representative images where a suitable real-world photo is difficult or impractical to obtain, particularly for mature plants. Special care is taken to preserve the genuine appearance, colour, form, foliage, flowers and growth habit as accurately as current AI image technology allows.

Plant sizing
Plant sizes refer to the pot size, not the exact size of the plant. For example:

  • 100 mm = 10 cm diameter pot
  • 140 mm = 14 cm diameter pot
  • 5 L = 5 litre pot

Smaller pot sizes generally indicate younger plants, although actual plant size can vary significantly between species, varieties and growth habits.

Description

Arenaria montana, known as Mountain Sandwort, is a low-growing, evergreen ground cover from the European Alps. This charming, mat-forming plant reaches only 10 cm in height but can spread to around 30 cm, making it ideal for filling spaces in rock gardens, borders, or as a delicate cover between stepping stones. Its compact nature and bright green foliage offer year-round appeal, making it an attractive option for Perth gardens. This plant thrives in full sun to part shade and performs well in garden beds or pots.

Mountain Sandwort produces a delightful display of small, pure white, star-shaped flowers during Djilba (Early Spring) to Kambarang (Late Spring), adding a burst of brightness to the landscape. It prefers well-draining, gritty or sandy soil and requires moderate watering, especially during Perth’s hot summers. Its durability, combined with its compact and floral qualities, makes Arenaria montana a highly desirable choice for low-maintenance cottage and rock gardens.
