Aubrieta Seeds - Rock Cress - Ground Cover Plants

Aubrieta plants grow in a well-drained soil that is sandy and rocky. They do well in full sun, but also grow in partial shade areas. Plant Aubrieta Rock Cress in the fall or spring to create a wonderful ground cover carpet. The seeds of Aubrieta can be sown from February to June or from September to October to flower all through the following summer. To get an abundant Aubrieta blooming every year, cut the stems back after flowering, and divide the clump to encourage further propagation every 1 - 3 years. This evergreen perennial will keep its leaves green all year round. The showy flowers will start blooming in early spring until mid-May in different catchy colors: white, red, pink, violet, blue and purple. Most gardeners grow this evergreen perennial as a ground cover or to trail down walls and borders. Poor sunlight exposure due to too much shadow can affect the blooming rate and encourage root rot.
