Arenaria verna 'Aurea'
Arenaria prefer a moist well-draining soil. Will tolerate light foot traffic and sometimes used as a small scale lawn substitute or between stepping stones. A pretty filler in containers surrounding upright plants.
Any winter damaged foliage can be removed in spring if needed. Divide in early spring. Cut out sections and replant in a moderately moist soil. The resulting empty space will fill in quickly with greenery. Allow soil around established plants to dry out a bit between waterings.
Our plants are grown in 3.5x3.5x4” plantable pots. Made from 100% biodegradable coconut husk fibers (coir), these pots have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. With better air exchange, this "breathable" pot fosters robust root growth and reduces transplant shock since you can plant the pots directly in the ground. The pot naturally becomes part of the soil on its own over time—no composting required—and since they're made from a renewable resource that requires very little energy, they're earth-friendly too!
We offer a 100% guarantee for all our perennials to reach you in good condition and to grow. If you're not satisfied, we'll reship or refund immediately. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions or concerns—we share your passion for gardening and want your new plants to thrive in your border!
