Good plant #60 - Arabis Caucasica 'Snowcap'

This is a one the best evergreen ground cover plants for sunny dry sites. It produces a profusion of highly scented flowers white flowers as early as March which can last well into May.

It has a spreading habit, especially in fertile conditions. This makes it easy to propagate. In autumn, just shove your trowel through a clump and replant it.

I remove the seed pods with sharp scissors after flowering to to tidy the plant up.
