Arabis alpina is a spreading perennial associated with rocky, often calcareous habitats. Arabis alpina has fragrant flowers.
Flowers and foliage
Its low leafy growth carries clusters of small flowers in spring. A gritty, well-drained soil suits this rock-garden character; prolonged wetness can lead to root rot, and hot summers may shorten its useful season.
Spring-flowering seed selections
Grandiflora Rosea, Praecox White and Snow Peak offer named choices for perennial seed assortments.
