Arabis Blepharophylla ‘Spring Charm’

This mat-forming alpine provides vivid spring impact. Nestling in wall crevices and rocky crannies, it forms neat rosettes of mid green leaves. In late spring, it produces short racemes of sweetly fragrant, deep rose-carmine, four-petalled flowers which provide plentiful early nectar for foraging pollinators.  A short-lived perennial, it loves freely-draining, gravelly soils in full sun. As well as providing stunning spring colour to rock gardens it also makes a useful edging or container plant. Height:15cm (6”). Spread:20cm (8”).
