Arabis General Information

Arabis has sweetly scented flowers that draw attention in any setting. Good for edging or for around the base of shrubs and hedges. Does fine in shade, but will shorten bloom time. Avoid wet areas. Cut back after flowering for best foliage. Idaho has restricted all potted plant material from being shipped into Idaho at this time.

Arabis Plant Care

Cut back or shear by half after flowering to prevent bare stems. Divide in early summer after flowering or in early fall. Fertilize every other year in late fall to late winter.

Plantable Pots

Our plants are grown in 3.5x3.5x4” plantable pots. Made from 100% biodegradable coconut husk fibers (coir), these pots have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. With better air exchange, this "breathable" pot fosters robust root growth and reduces transplant shock since you can plant the pots directly in the ground. The pot naturally becomes part of the soil on its own over time—no composting required—and since they're made from a renewable resource that requires very little energy, they're earth-friendly too!

100% Guarantee

We offer a 100% guarantee for all our perennials to reach you in good condition and to grow. If you're not satisfied, we'll reship or refund immediately. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions or concerns—we share your passion for gardening and want your new plants to thrive in your border!
