One of my favorite perennials! Fragrant Persian Stonecress forms a symetrical mound of blue-green leaves covered with fragrant, pale pink flowers in spring. The color and fragrance remind me of cotton candy.
This wonderful rock garden plant tolerates poor soil. It needs well-drained soil to overwinter. Self sows. Also known as Turkish Stonecress. Hardy in zones 4-8.
height 10", width 15"
Sowing Aethionema schistosum Seeds:
