Knotted pearlwort
Sagina nodosa
Knotted pearlwort is a delicate, low-growing perennial that thrives in moist, well-drained soils with partial to full sun. Keep the soil consistently moist and avoid letting it dry out completely, as this plant is not drought tolerant. It works beautifully as a ground cover in rock gardens or between stepping stones where moisture is retained.
