When I was planning the memory garden, I knew that I’d need low-growing cushions for the south side of the bed. I tried many different kinds of seeds. Unfortunately, only one of the Arabis plants made it to adulthood. Fortunately, though, it is a really lovely plant.

This plant blooms in March/April and smothers itself in pristine white flowers. It doesn’t get above an inch-and-a-half tall, so it is perfect at the front of the border.

My future plans for this plant are to propagate it from spring cuttings and spread a few more along the south edge of the memory garden.
