Homeowner Growing and Maintenance Tips:

Sandwort should be grown in full sun or partial shade and well-drained, moist soil. Because it has a shallow root system, it needs to be watered during dry periods in spring and summer. Later in the season, as the temperature begins to cool off, it can tolerate some dryness. Propagate by division in late summer or early fall. 

Soil requires low to average water. Growth rate medium, blooms in mid to late Spring.
