Fringed rockcress (Arabis ciliata)

Fringed rockcress

Also known as: Rockcress

Fringed rockcress thrives in rocky, well-drained soils, often found on limestone cliffs or alpine slopes. This hardy perennial is distinguished by its rosette of spoon-shaped leaves, which are fringed with delicate hairs. In spring, fringed rockcress produces clusters of white, four-petalled flowers atop slender stalks, an attractive contrast against its green foliage.
