Draba verna
Draba verna
Draba verna, commonly known as spring whitlow-grass, is a tiny annual or short-lived perennial wildflower that thrives in sunny, well-drained spots with minimal care. It is one of the earliest spring bloomers, producing small white flowers that are a valuable early nectar source for pollinators. This undemanding plant is ideal for rock gardens, gravel beds, or naturalizing in lawn edges where it will often self-seed freely.
