Arabis alp. caucasica ‘Variegata’


Variegated Wall Cress

 USDA Zone: 3-9

Plant number: 1.065.200


Wall Cress is readily familiar as a widely planted rock garden or edging perennial, used for a bright spring display. Plants form a mounding cushion of olive-green and creamy-white splashed leaves, bearing masses of sweetly fragrant, small snow-white flowers for several weeks. Drought tolerant once established. These require good drainage, particularly in the winter months. Shear plants lightly after blooming in order to maintain a bushy, compact habit. Remove any all-green shoots as they appear, to maintain the variegated effect. Evergreen.
