Aubretia Seeds Large Flowered Perennial Mix- Perfect for Rockery and Alpine Gardens Spring-blooming aubrieta makes a perfect pocket plant for garden walls and rock gardens and alpine gardens. The plants have a very small footprint and can establish a deep root system in the soil behind a retaining wall, while foliage and flowers can spread up to 18 inches or more, giving the appearance of a living wall. Cascades of pretty flowers form a cushion of blossoms. Aubrieta plants also provide good erosion control on hillsides and attract butterflies with their prolific spring flowers. Also known as False Rock Cress Can be sown directly to the garden after the final spring frost or for earlier blooms, start indoors 6 weeks before final spring frost. Sow 6mm (1/4") deep in rich, well drained soil. Keep moist until seedlings are well established. Harden off then thin or transplant to final recommended plant spacing. Water regularly. Aubrieta plants shine in full sun, but will also grow in part shade. For best results, grow plants where they will receive at least a half-day of sun. Plants that grow in too much shade will lose their compact, mounded appearance, take on a leggy look, and have sparse flowers. Aubrietas like a rocky, alkaline soil, which mimics the soil found in their native alpine habitats. If the pH is low, increase it with the addition of lime. Good drainage is important to prevent root rot. Trim lightly after the plants have bloomed to encourages a much bushier, denser growth habit.. =s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s=s==s=s=s=s=s=s=s= Seed Shipping: Flat Rate Low Shipping fee- no matter how many seeds you order!
