Draba
Also called Whitlowgrasses, Whitlow Grass, Drabas, Whitlowgrass
Draba is a large genus of small, mostly alpine and arctic rock-garden plants in the cabbage family, with tufted or cushion-forming growth and small four-petalled flowers. Commonly grown members are cushion-forming species for rock gardens and scree beds, so they need sharp drainage and cool conditions.
Draba is a large genus of flowering plants in the family Brassicaceae, commonly known as whitlow-grasses (though they are not related to the true grasses).
