Aubrieta Axcent Deep Purple (‘Audelpur’) (PBR) (Axcent Series) | 9cm Pot

A mauve/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 A sumptuous purple flowering carpet gives this Aubrieta some serious ‘flower-power’. ‘Axcent Deep Purple’ is part of a series that blooms one to two weeks earlier than traditional varieties and looks fab when allowed to tumble over the edge of a raised bed or provide ambling ground cover across banks and sloping ground. Often seen trailing majestically over retaining walls, this jewel of a plant is equally as stunning spilling from pots and containers. 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.
