White Well Gem Rock Cress is well known for use in rock gardens or as a low growing, spreading groundcover. The low cushion of evergreen grayish-green leaves is covered with bright shades of violet to purple flowers in spring and summer. To encourage a thicker mounding form a light trimming is recommended immediately after blooming.
