Rock Cress Bloom
Arabis Variegata
This is a versatile, ground-covering, evergreen perennial which bears masses of beautiful, pure white flowers held in clusters high above the foliage. It’s grown for its stunning, small mid-green leaves which are splashed creamy-white in the centre and have attractive, bold creamy-white margins. The foliage also takes on a wonderful purplish to maroon cast during the winter which helps to give it year-round appeal. It’s tolerance of a wide range of soil types makes it suitable for difficult areas of the garden where other plants will not grow: rockeries, borders, alpine troughs, gravel gardens and containers are just a few situations in which it will thrive. It makes a stunning groundcover plant when grown in front of a dark-coloured backdrop and is capable of lighting up even the dullest areas of the garden. Easy to grow and tolerant of harsh conditions

Garden Care:
Remove any foliage that reverts to plain green as soon as it’s noticed. Please Note: Although all our perennials are advertised as being sold in 1 litre containers, they are sometimes stocked in 9cm pots instead (particularly during the winter). If you order perennials from us, we reserve the right to supply them in 9cm pots instead of 1 litre containers, at a price of £2.50 instead of £3.80. Between November and March many perennials go ‘dormant’ which, in some cases, means they are sold as a root, corm or bulb with no top growth. If you order perennials whilst they are dormant, they may not be visible above the soil level when purchased but will burst into life in the spring.
