Polygonum Arenastrum Subsp. Boreale

Boreal knotweed, scientifically known as Polygonum arenastrum subsp. boreale, is a hardy perennial plant native to the cold climates of the northern hemisphere. It thrives in rocky, alpine, and arctic environments where few other plants can survive. With its dense, mat-like growth habit, it forms a crucial part of the ecosystem in these harsh regions. The plant's ability to withstand extreme temperatures and poor soil conditions makes it a resilient species. Its presence often indicates the health and stability of high-altitude or polar habitats.
