Arabis caucasica Roselite Mini-mound

Arabis caucasica 'Roselite' is a perennial full of charm for pots, containers and borders. From March, a carpet of deep pink flowers to be harmonised with biennials, bulbs and other early perennials.

The 'Roselite' Caucasian rock-cress (Arabis alpina subsp. caucasica) is the sister variety of the Arabis caucasica 'Alabaster' (white). Like the latter, it is a new sterile hybrid from Germany with large flowers and a very long flowering period. Its intense carmine purple colour will add depth to a colour combination in harmony of pink tones, for example with tulips, pansies, tiarellas... or even the lilac-pink foliage of the 'Berry Smoothie' heuchera. It also pairs well with the blue of forget-me-nots or of course white... Thanks to its spreading growth, 'Roselite' is perfect for decorating the edge of a pot on a terrace or a container. No matter how it is associated, it is always easy to grow and fast-growing, in short, it is a plant that can always be relied upon!

Planted in autumn, the 'Roselite' Caucasian rock-cress will develop during winter a carpet of evergreen foliage, with an oval shape and a serrated border, in a green colour tending toward grey. At the very beginning of spring, from March, numerous dark pink 4-petalled flowers tending toward purple will succeed each other without interruption until May. If it has been planted in a pot with biennials, then this will be time to replant it in the garden to enjoy it again the following year! The 'Roselite' rock-cress thrives in all types of soil as long as it has a full sun location. Perfectly hardy, it will adapt very well in a rock garden or along a border. It can also make a very good ground cover of about 20 cm (7.9 in) in height.
