Aubrieta Gracilis Kitte Blue | 9cm Pot

A spreading, evergreen aubretia perennial with purple flowers. Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: moderately fertile, well-drained, preferably neutral or alkaline soil Rate of growth: average to fast Flowering period: March to May Hardiness: fully hardy Perfect, miniature, purple pansy-like flowers, each with a golden eye, adorn this aubrieta in spring and all but obscure the mat-forming, evergreen foliage beneath. Best grown in well-drained soil in full sun, ‘Kitte Blue’ is an ideal plant for dry areas such as chalky slopes and creeping over stone walls but makes a wonderful ground cover for cottage and informal gardens, too. Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery alternative), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from. 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.
