Description

Clusters of dainty blooms combine with evergreen foliage to bring color, fragrance and soft texture to the harshest planting sites. This mounding spreader thrives in poor, dry soil, heat and wind. A light shearing after blooming is all the effort it takes to keep this Arabis looking great.

Fix leaking sprinklers, valves, and pipes.

One broken spray sprinkler can waste 10 gallons per minute - or 100 gallons in a typical 10 minute watering cycle.
