White arctic mountain heather
Cassiope tetragona
White arctic mountain heather is a slow-growing evergreen subshrub native to cold alpine and arctic climates, requiring cool temperatures, acidic well-drained soil, and consistent moisture to thrive. It prefers partial shade and struggles in hot or dry conditions, making it best suited for rock gardens or alpine troughs in cooler climates. Avoid heavy clay soils and ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
