The detail
Arabis, commonly known as Rock Cress, is a hardy evergreen alpine perennial celebrated for its profusion of fragrant deep rose-pink flowers from early spring. This attractive ground cover forms a dense, mat-forming carpet of grey-green foliage that cascades beautifully over walls, rockeries, and raised beds, providing year-round interest and reliable colour season after season.
Plant in a full sun position for the best flowering display. Arabis thrives in well-drained soil and is an excellent choice for dry, sunny borders, raised beds, and south-facing rockeries. Avoid heavy, waterlogged soils.
