Silver Sand Small Bag

Enhance the growing conditions in your garden with this small bag of Silver Sand — a clean, fine-grained horticultural sand that helps improve drainage, aeration and soil structure. Silver sand is a versatile gardening amendment, particularly useful when working with potting mixes, borders, raised beds and containers.

When incorporated into compost or soil, silver sand creates a looser, more open medium that allows water to drain freely and air to circulate around plant roots. This reduces the risk of waterlogging and root rot, making it especially beneficial for plants that thrive in sharp, well-drained conditions such as alpines, succulents, herbs and Mediterranean varieties.

In container gardening, silver sand can be added to compost to prevent compaction and to give pots and planters added stability. Its fine texture also makes it suitable for use as a surface dressing on beds and containers, helping to maintain moisture balance while giving a neat, tidy finish.

The small-bag size is ideal for targeted gardening tasks, whether you are improving drainage in a few pots, preparing a specialist border or topping up soil in raised beds. Easy to handle and use, silver sand is a practical, low-maintenance addition to any gardener’s toolkit.

Whether you’re sowing seeds, growing drought-tolerant plants or simply improving heavy soil, this horticultural sand helps create conditions that support healthier root growth and better plant performance.
