    Hi all.

    I have grown these from seed. I have 6 of them.

    They are meant to be Arabis little treasure.

    I have grown arabis little treasure before and just don't remember the leaves being this big. Also no sign of flowers. This is my old arabis (albeit it's 3 years old in this picture)... 20180502_141721.jpg
    I bought these latest seeds from eBay. I said I wouldn't do that again as 3 years previously I purchased trailing gypsophila seeds from eBay, they turned out to be Herb Robert. I am still pulling the blinking stuff out this summer, I got well scammed!

    Are these Arabis?

    Thanks

        Do you know what Arabis the seeds are.

          They are little treasure. Just don't think my original arabis had leaves this big. But can see the likeness in yours and other pics I've seen.

          Not a plant I know anything about but there are likely to be differing species or varieties.

            So they flowered..a little.. and sure enough I could recognise the flowers as arabis but as was said above, this is definitely a different variety from my last.. big leaves and the flowers on longer stems rather than floating on top of the foliage like my last arabis. If they survive the winter they should put on quite the display next year, fingers crossed.
