Rock Cress (Arabis caucasica Little Treasure Deep Rose) - Rock Cress is a drought tolerant, widely planted perennial rock garden plant used for a bright Spring showing of flowers. This selection forms a mounding cushion of gray-green leaves, bearing masses of fragrant, small, vibrant rose flowers from early to mid Spring. All arabis plants require good drainage, particularly in the winter months. Shear plants lightly after blooming in order to maintain a bushy, compact habit. Deer and rabbits tend to avoid rock cress.
Rock cress is a very vibrant, ground covering, mat-forming and tough plant that will grow anywhere.
