Arabis Flower Seeds

Our Arabis Flower Seeds are also widely known as Rock Cress, Wall Cress or Rockcress and is an evergreen perennial, though considered to be short lived in some areas, especially those places with high humidity.


Arabis, pronounced AR-uh-bis, is popular in rock gardens and xeriscaping due to their low, mat-like growth habit, crisp-looking blossoms and relatively low moisture requirements. You may find that you have to replace Arabis every three or four years, but you can normally extend their life by dividing them every two to four years instead. Arabis will thrive in full sun, but can look just as beautiful in partial shade, especially if that shade is in the afternoon. Blooming plants require a lot of energy to bloom and will benefit from regular feedings. We recommend Jungle Flora or Espoma Flower-tone®, both of which are organically rich and specially formulated for blooming plants.


Each order of our fresh Arabis seeds is filled by hand, put into a resealable plastic bag and then placed into a labeled seed packet. It is our goal to provide our customers the best in freshness and quality.
