I am wondering what the difference is between these two plants,they look the same and have the same spreading habit,and like the same conditions.

Can't find much on Google.

The whole truth is an instrument that can only be played by an expert.

    Yes they like the same condition but arabis is usually white flowers and aubretia  is usually bluey violet in flower.

    If you think they look the same, look a bit harder image

    I probably thought they were similar because the Arabis I bought has a lovely bluey mauve flower.?

    Could the labels have got mixed up?

    I can now see the difference in leaf colour,Aubretia more bluey.
