Description

The Arabis procurrens 'Neuschnee' is a relatively rarely cultivated rockcress. This pretty, hardy rock plant forms a carpet-like ground cover that is particularly decorative with its evergreen, dense, and tough medium-green foliage and its spring flowering in generous clusters of slightly scented white flowers. It is easy to grow in well-drained soil. The combination of its dense and glossy cushions is magnificent against the matte grey of the stones. It is an ideal perennial for covering walls or cascading down slopes.

  

The Arabis procurrens 'Neuschnee' belongs to the Brassicaceae family. This evergreen rockcress is native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. This perennial ground cover spreads through rhizomes and has a relatively slow growth. It forms a dense ground cover that does not exceed 15 to 25 cm (6 to 10in) in height, with a minimum spread of 35 cm (14in). Flowering takes place in April-May. Its numerous small flowers with a diameter of 1 cm (1in), slightly scented, are gathered in generous clusters. They bloom above the bright green to grey-green foliage with a velvety appearance.

 

Like the quintessential rock plants, this robust rockcress also makes an excellent ground cover along borders, in flowered paving, as a topping for walls, on slopes, etc. Delightful, like a 'drapery' on stones and walls, Arabis procurrens 'Neuschnee' is an excellent ground cover that can cover a significant area in a few years and prevent the growth of weeds. It is best to avoid planting it in a meticulously maintained rock garden, where it could harm more delicate plants. It is well-suited for highlighting a staircase descent, the edge of a flowerbed, or a gravel path. It can also carpet the base of bushes or hedges, even in partial shade, as it is as undemanding as ivy. The rockcress 'Neuschnee', so long-lived and easy to grow, will be perfect at the foot of late-flowering tulips or roses.

Planting and care

Arabis plants thrive in well-drained soil with full sun exposure. They can grow in rocky or gravelly soil and tolerate slightly acidic, neutral, or limestone soil. These plants are durable and can endure summer drought once their roots are established. Plant from spring to autumn to grow them and water regularly until they are established. Be sure to prevent neighbouring plants or weeds from disrupting their slow establishment. After flowering, you can use shears to prune the shrubs and encourage branching and denser growth. Arabis plants are easy to grow and do not have any known enemies in our gardens.
