Blizzard Compact Mountain Sandwort (Arenaria montana ‘Blizzard Compact’)

Blizzard Compact Mountain Sandwort (Arenaria montana ‘Blizzard Compact’) is a low-growing, spreading perennial known for its dense mat of evergreen foliage and abundant white star-shaped flowers. Blooming in late spring to early summer, this variety creates a striking carpet of bright white blooms that contrast beautifully with its deep green leaves.

Blizzard Compact is selected for its tighter, more uniform growth habit compared to standard Arenaria montana, making it especially suitable for rock gardens, edging, and small-space plantings. Its compact form provides neat coverage while still offering strong flowering performance.

Well-suited to Alberta’s climate, this hardy perennial thrives in sunny, well-drained locations. It is ideal for xeriscaping, alpine gardens, and low-maintenance landscapes where good drainage is essential.
