Plant Information

Plant Care

Dwarf Wall Cress is an exceptionally low-maintenance plant that thrives with minimal attention. Regular deadheading after the spring bloom encourages a longer flowering period and prevents self-seeding. Trim back any sprawling growth in late summer to maintain a neat appearance and prevent the center from becoming woody.

During extended dry periods, provide occasional water, though established plants are notably drought-tolerant. This hardy perennial requires no winter protection and remains evergreen in most climates, providing year-round garden interest.

Planting Instructions

Plant in spring or fall, spacing plants 30-45 cm apart to allow for mature spread. Prepare the planting area by incorporating organic matter and ensuring excellent drainage. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and at the same depth. Place the plant at the same level it was growing in the container, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly.

For best results, mulch around the plant with gravel or small stones to keep roots cool and suppress weeds. Avoid organic mulches that may retain too much moisture and lead to root rot. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system.
