Entire-leaf mountain avens is a low-growing, mat-forming arctic-alpine perennial best suited to rock gardens or alpine troughs in cool climates. Plant in well-drained, gritty, slightly alkaline soil in a partly shaded to full-sun position. It requires minimal intervention once established but dislikes heat and humidity, so avoid planting in warm, humid regions.
