Pink and white duo of Arabis caucasica for rockery

The Duo consists of:

- x 2 Arabis caucasica 'Rosea': light pink to carmine pink flowers.

- x 3 Arabis caucasica 'Snowcap' (Schneehaube): particularly floriferous variety, with immaculate white flowers.

Plant in spring or early autumn, in any well-drained soil, even rocky or gravelly, in full sun. Plan for 5 plants per m² for a beautiful covering effect within 3 years. Water regularly to promote establishment. Make sure that neighbouring plants or "weeds" do not disturb their establishment, which is a bit slow even if it proves to be extremely durable.

As rockery plants par excellence, the most robust rock cresses will also make excellent ground covers at the edge of a flower bed, in a flowery pavement, as a topping for a wall, on a slope, at the base of shrubs or hedges. Lovely, as if 'draped' on stones and walls, Arabis caucasica is capable of covering a large area in a few years. It is best to avoid planting it in a well-maintained rockery, where it could harm more delicate plants. Caucasian rock cress pairs perfectly with alyssums, iberis, and other rockery plants that also flower in spring. At the edge of a flower bed, plant some tulips and daffodils that will emerge from their flowery carpets.
