Product description
If you're looking to add a burst of colour to your garden between Spring and Summer, these Aubrieta Cascade plants are exactly what you need! They have become one of the most popular of rockery plants, with a reputation of being both hardy and reliable, whilst forming an array of gorgeous flowers in late spring and early summer. These ground cover plants will form a mat of vibrant colour in their flourishing season, whilst also being great trailing plants outdoor if you intend to plant them at the edge of a rockery or raised flower bed - planting a mixture of colours together gives off a wonderful, multicoloured effect.
Ideally, you should plant these fast growing creeping thyme plants in direct sun, although they will also tolerate some shaded areas. These Aubrieta rockery plants will flourish in moderately fertile, well-drained, neutral or alkaline soil, and will also benefit from being cut back hard after they have finished flowering. This will allow them to continue thriving, perhaps encouraging a second flush of beautiful flowers!
Please Note: Images are for illustrative purposes only and designed to be a representation of the item(s) being sold. Depending on seasonality, deciduous plants may be supplied in their dormant state and without leaves. Plants may also be pruned back, lower than stated heights, to encourage new growth.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Instructions
Top Tip
Plant aubretia in a large pot or near a wall and allow the flowers to cascade and spill over the sides.
How to Water
Water young plants regularly, allowing the soil to dry between waterings. Established plants are drought tolerant and only need to be watered during particularly dry spells.
How to Plant
Grow aubrieta in full sun in moderately fertile moist but well-draining soil. Weed the area thoroughly before planting and dig a hole slightly bigger than the root ball. Position the plant and backfill, firming down gently as you go, then water in well.
