Sabulina nuttallii
Nuttall's stitchwort (Sabulina nuttallii, also called Nuttall's sandwort) is a low, mat-forming perennial from western North America, found on rocky ridges and serpentine soils. It is a wild plant of dry, barren ground, so it suits rock gardens with sharp drainage rather than typical garden beds.
Sabulina nuttallii is a species of flowering plant in the family Caryophyllaceae known by the common names Nuttall's sandwort and brittle sandwort.
It is native to western North America from southwestern Canada to California and Nevada, where it grows in several types of habitat, including rocky and barren ridges, chaparral and woodlands, often on serpentine soils.
