Aubrieta Audrey Purple Shades (Audrey Series) | 9cm Pot

A purple-flowering, mat-forming perennial. Position: full sun Soil: moderately fertile, well-drained, preferably neutral or alkaline soil Rate of growth: average to fast-growing Flowering period: March to May Hardiness: fully hardy Insects adore the yellow-throated, purple blooms of this free-flowering Aubrieta, and so will you! Spreading and tumbling over retaining walls, raised beds and garden paths, or as a dense, ground-covering carpet of grey-green leaves for tricky slopes and banks, this cheery semi-evergreen perennial will keep you and the bees buzzing throughout the spring. Garden care: Avoid waterlogging, particularly in winter, and to keep the plants looking bushy, cut them back hard immediately after flowering. This may also encourage a second, less prolific, flush of flowers.
