Arabis Snowball

Commonly known as Alpine Rock Cress is a hardy, evergreen perennial that forms a dense, cushion-like carpet of soft grey-green foliage topped with masses of fragrant, pure white flowers. It is an exceptional low-maintenance ground cover choice for cascading over garden walls, filling rockeries, or edging sunny borders. In early spring, the plant completely smothers itself in tight, dense clusters of bright white, sweetly scented blooms that resemble mini snowballs. Once the primary spring flowering window ends, the soft, velvety grey-green leaves remain neat and evergreen, ensuring your garden bed never looks bare in the winter. Because it blooms early in the spring, Arabis 'Snowball' provides an essential, rich nectar resource when emerging insects need it most. The highly fragrant blossoms are highly attractive to honeybees, bumblebees, and early butterflies.
