Elegant Rockcress

Overview

Elegant Rockcress (Boechera Sparsiflora) is a perennial herbaceous plant found in crevices and rocky hills of Northwestern North America. It is distinguished by its slender petioles, white flowers, and pink bracts. It grows in clusters up to 4-10 inches in height, spreading slowly and steadily across bare rocks. Elegant Rockcress blooms from early spring to summer and is a favorite among bees, butterflies and other pollinators. Furthermore, the plant’s low-lying, tough stems offer an ideal shelter for small lizards and amphibians. With its ability to tolerate drought and extreme temperatures, this plant is a great choice for the modern, low-maintenance garden.
