A note from PlantMom
Fringed sandwort is resistant to disease and generally does not tend to be affected by illnesses. In terms of care, this plant is fairly low-maintenance. When grown outdoors it needs little watering, and larger plants usually do not require pruning. Smaller plants, however, should be pruned after they finish blooming. Fringed sandwort is appropriate for anyone with outdoor space, such as a garden or a deck, and does not demand much gardening experience.
