 | Heritage Perennial Profile |
Here's the complete description for this Heritage Perennial. Drop in any time to see the rest of our collection.
| Plant Number: 1.065.340 | USDA Zone: 3 - 9 |
 |
 |

 | Arabis ferdinandi-coburgi ‘Old Gold’ |
| Common name : Alpine Wall Cress |
| |
|
|
| |
| This variegated selection is quite different in appearance from the familiar mounding types of Wall Cress. It forms a very low carpet of rounded, waxy-looking green-and-gold streaked leaves. A choice small groundcover, also excellent for edging, in the rock garden or alpine trough. Small white flowers in spring are a bonus, although not particularly showy. Drought tolerant, once established. Great between flagstones. Plants are easily divided after blooming or in early fall. Evergreen.
