Dropseed Rockcress

Overview

Dropseed Rockcress (Boechera pendulocarpa) is an evergreen sub-shrub found in rocky alpine slopes of western North America. Growing up to 8 inches tall, it displays beautiful green foliage and small, white, bell-shaped flowers that mature to a deep purple color. The flowers are followed by pendant, rounded fruits that resemble pea pods, which give the plant its name. Once established, Dropseed Rockcress is a low maintenance plant, preferring well-drained sandy soil and light shade for optimal growth. As a tough and drought-resistant species, it's ideal for sunny and dry locations in rock gardens, containers, and native plant gardens.
