HUTCHINSIA ALPINA CHAMOIS CRESS
Hutchinsia alpina Charming little creeper that looks like a flat candy tuft on the ground. Deep green serrated leaves make quite a sweet impression, followed by dainty white tufts of flowers in spring, which have a slight fragrance. Excellent in a rock garden as a border plant, or used between stones. Exceptional over spring blooming flower bulbs.
