Notes
Tower rockcress (Turritis glabra) is an annual for naturalized plantings and butterfly gardens. This plant likes full sun to part shade and dry to moist, loamy or clay soil. It grows up to 60 inches tall. White flowers open from early to late spring. Butterflies visit the blooms, so plant it where you can watch them.
Pairs well with Soraya sunflower, Blue flag, and Cinnamon fern.
