SnowCap Rock Cress
Arabis caucasica 'SnowCap'
Charming and compact, SnowCap Rock Cress is a reliable early bloomer that brings a fresh blanket of white to the spring garden. This low-growing, mat-forming perennial features masses of small, pure white flowers that smother the plant in early to mid-spring, creating a striking contrast against its dense mat of gray-green, evergreen foliage.
Perfect for rock gardens, slopes, edging, and walls, ‘SnowCap’ thrives in sunny, well-drained locations and quickly forms a tidy ground-hugging carpet. Its neat habit and early-season interest make it a favorite for brightening up the front of borders and spilling gracefully over stones or containers.
Drought-tolerant once established and easy to grow, this resilient groundcover is also deer-resistant and low maintenance—ideal for gardeners seeking long-lasting beauty with minimal effort.
Brighten up your spring landscape with SnowCap Rock Cress—a crisp, clean bloomer that delivers elegant charm and reliable groundcover performance.
