Sibbaldia procumbens, commonly known as creeping sibbaldia, is a low-growing, mat-forming perennial herb native to tundra and alpine regions. It is found in a wide range of Arctic and mountainous areas, including the Pyrenees, Alps, and the mountains of North America. This member of the rose family typically forms dense clumps of foliage in rocky, gravelly soils, with spreading stems that can reach up to 6 inches in length. The leaves are trifoliate, divided into three leaflets, and the plant produces small, yellow flowers that are not particularly showy.

Creeping sibbaldia is valued for its ability to form a dense ground cover in rock gardens and alpine plantings, where its low stature and tolerance for cold climates are advantageous. It is also used in ecological restoration projects in its native habitats. The plant prefers full sun to partial shade and requires well-drained soil. It is generally low maintenance but can be susceptible to root rot in overly wet conditions. While not commonly available in the nursery trade, it can be propagated by seed or division.CC BY-SA 4.0
