Cream-Flowered Rockcress

Overview

Cream-Flowered Rockcress (Arabis pycnocarpa) is an evergreen perennial, grown for its large, fragrant flowers and attractive foliage. This low-growing plant can reach up to 20” tall, featuring creamy-white flowers that bloom from late spring to late summer. Its deep-green leaves are evergreen, creating a backdrop for the flowers. Due to its durability and rough terrain adaptability, Rockcress is often used in rock gardens and alpine gardens. During winter, the leaves may turn purplish, but will return to their normal color come spring. It is deer resistant, drought tolerant, and low maintenance, making it a popular choice for both novice and experienced gardeners.
