ARABIS caucasia Aubris White

Overview & Features

• Arabis caucasica ‘Aubris White’ is a low-growing, evergreen perennial producing masses of pure white flowers in early to mid-spring.

• Forms dense mats of grey-green foliage that provide year-round ground cover.

• Typically grows to around 15–20 cm in height, spreading gradually to create a carpet effect.

• Ideal for rockeries, gravel gardens, raised beds, edging paths, and cascading over walls.

• Excellent for brightening borders with early-season colour.

• Attractive to early pollinators such as bees.

• Provides strong contrast when planted alongside spring bulbs or colourful aubretia.

This variety is valued for its crisp white blooms and neat, spreading habit.

Planting & Positioning

• Plant in full sun for the best flowering performance.

• Tolerates light partial shade but flowers most heavily in bright conditions.

• Prefers well-drained soil and does not tolerate winter waterlogging.

• Performs well in sandy, gravelly, or moderately fertile soils.

• Improve heavy soils with grit to enhance drainage.

• Dig a hole slightly wider and the same depth as the pot.

• Position the plant so the top of the root ball sits level with the soil surface.

• Backfill, firm gently, and water thoroughly after planting.

• Space plants 25–30 cm apart to allow for spreading growth.

Arabis thrives in sunny, open areas with excellent drainage.

Watering, Feeding & Flowering

• Water regularly during the first growing season to establish roots.

• Once established, plants are drought tolerant and require minimal watering.

• Avoid overwatering, particularly during winter.

• Feed lightly in early spring with a balanced fertiliser if soil fertility is low.

• Avoid excessive feeding, which may reduce flowering performance.

• Flowering occurs in early to mid-spring, producing a dense carpet of white blooms.

• Deadheading is optional but can help maintain a neat appearance.

Full sun and free-draining soil encourage the best floral display.

Pruning, Maintenance & General Care

• Lightly trim back after flowering to maintain a compact shape and encourage fresh growth.

• Remove any dead or damaged stems as needed.

• Avoid cutting too hard into older woody growth.

• Divide clumps every few years if they become woody or overcrowded.

• Apply a light gravel mulch to improve drainage and keep foliage dry.

• Generally low maintenance and pest resistant in suitable conditions.

• Evergreen foliage may persist through winter in milder climates.

With full sun and well-drained soil, Arabis caucasica ‘Aubris White’ will provide reliable early spring colour and attractive evergreen ground cover year after year.
