The arabis caucasica produces leaves which reach a height of 6" and form a mat of gray leaves. Its flowers are 1/2', white, and almost completely cover the plant in early spring. It is an excellent ground cover and base planting for spring bulbs.

This plant is a nice combination with Aurinia saxatilis and Aubretia deltoidea.
