This ground cover or rock plant really catches the eye when in bloom. In fact, starting in mid-spring, a beautiful carpet of bright pink, fragrant flowers forms. Because Arabis stays low, it is great for a spot at the front of the border or in a flowerbed near the front door, for example. Mix spring flowers with other perennials, place them near bulbs, decorative foliage plants and shrubs that bloom early in the season. These spring flowers also show up beautifully in containers, pots and baskets. By placing pots full of early flowering perennials on the garden table or patio, you can immediately enjoy the wonderful spring atmosphere.
