Rock sandwort is a diminutive perennial herb with a prostrate growth pattern, commonly forming dense, matted clumps. It is distinguished by its low cushion-like tufts amidst rocky substrates. Each plant exhibits a rosette of small, dished-shaped white flowers, typically with five petals, that emerge from a unique floral cup. The foliage is compact, and the species is characterized by its woody, robust taproot system which is well-branched, contributing to its hardiness.
