How quickly should I plant it?

Give your plant the best start after delivery.

  • Unpack your plant promptly and check the soil moisture on arrival.
  • Water deeply after planting to settle soil around the root zone.
  • Keep soil evenly moist while the plant establishes, without leaving it waterlogged.
  • Choose a planting position suited to the plant's light requirements.
  • Add mulch around the base to help retain moisture and reduce weeds.
  • Avoid piling mulch against the trunk or stem.
  • For hedging or screening plants, trim lightly once established to encourage denser growth.

Care requirements vary by variety, climate, season, and planting location. Always match watering, sunlight, and soil conditions to the specific plant you are buying.

Sandwort - Arenaria Summer Lemon

Gardeners who want a living mortar between pavers usually reach for a moss substitute and end up disappointed. Sandwort is the more forgiving option. Summer Lemon is grown for fine, needle-like foliage in a soft lime to yellow-green tone, forming a dense low cushion that hugs the ground and stays neat without mowing or edging.

Small white flowers appear over the mat in the warmer half of the year and sit right down among the leaves. Use it in gravel gardens, trough and pot plantings, rockery pockets, beside step treads and as a green edge to a path.

Two things kill it. The first is poor drainage, particularly a humid summer with the crown staying damp, which turns the middle of the cushion brown and mushy. The second is scorching afternoon sun inland, which bleaches the foliage out. Morning light with shade later in the day gives the best leaf colour. It takes the occasional footstep but is not a lawn replacement. Do not confuse it with Irish moss or Scleranthus, which want different care.

Choosing a size

This plant is supplied in one size, 130mm, at $16.95 per plant. The size shown is the pot it arrives in, which is the rootball, not the height of the plant. Not sure which to choose? Read our guide to when to plant in Australia.
