Rock Cress Seeds - Flower Plant

Rock cress seeds produce compact, low-growing perennial plants with a spreading, mat-forming growth habit and small evergreen foliage. These plants develop masses of small blooms during the flowering season and are well suited to cool to mild climates. Rock cress performs best in full sun with well-drained, moderately fertile soil and moderate watering. Ideal for rock gardens, borders, wall edges, and ground cover, it establishes steadily and creates a dense carpet of color.
