Arabis variegata is a versatile, ground-covering, evergreen perennial which bears masses of beautiful, pure white flowers held in clusters high above the foliage. Grown for its stunning leaves, Rock Cress offers splashes of creamy-white in the center of small mid-green leaves and have attractive, bold creamy-white margins.
