ARABIS BLEPHAROPHYLLA 'ROSE DELIGHT'

Arabis blepharophylla 'Rose Delight' is a striking little plant that will catch your eye with its vivid cerise-pink flowers.

Below, the flowering stalks will soon need to be cut back in the hope of encouraging more flowering stems.

The label says: Arabis 'Rose Delight' is a pretty, cushion-forming perennial whose evergreen rosettes of foliage offset graceful, fragrant flowers.  It is suitable for rockeries or dry borders in well-drained soil.  It prefers partial shade.  It flowers early summer and achieves a height of 10cm (4in) and spread of 20cm (8in).  It's a hardy plant.




The flower stalks of mine is already much higher than 10cm  I'd say about 20cm (8in) at least.
