Arabis sagittata, commonly known as Arrowleaf Rockcress or Arrow-leaved Rock Cress, is a biennial herb that is native to a variety of habitats across Europe and Asia, including rocky and gravelly slopes, alpine screes, limestone cliffs, and mountain ledges. It typically grows at a moderate rate to a height of 0.5-2 feet (0.15-0.6 meters) and a width of 0.5-1 feet (0.2-0.3 meters). The plant forms a basal rosette of arrow-shaped leaves, from which emerge erect flowering stems. The flowers are white and quite showy, blooming in the spring and attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies.

Arrowleaf Rockcress is appreciated for its ornamental value, particularly its attractive foliage and springtime floral display. It is often used in rock gardens, alpine gardens, and as an edging plant due to its low-growing habit and preference for well-drained soils. This plant is relatively low-maintenance, requiring only moderate watering once established, and it thrives in full sun to part shade. It is adaptable to a range of soil types, including clay, loam, and sandy soils, as long as they provide good drainage. While generally disease-free, it can be susceptible to root rot if overwatered or planted in poorly draining soils.CC BY-SA 4.0
