Aubrieta, commonly known as rock cress, is a genus of flowering plants in the mustard family (Brassicaceae). The species often referred to as "Aubrieta Blue" is particularly prized for its vibrant blue or purple flowers and its ability to thrive in rock gardens and borders. These low-growing perennial plants are known for their early spring blooms and can create stunning ground cover.
Key characteristics of Aubrieta Blue include:
- Flowers: Typically small, four-petaled flowers that bloom in clusters, generally in shades of blue, purple, or sometimes pink.
- Foliage: It has gray-green leaves that form a mat-like structure, which helps suppress weeds.
- Growing Conditions: Prefers full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil. They are drought-tolerant once established.
- Uses: Ideal for rock gardens, slopes, and as a ground cover. They can also be used in containers or hanging baskets.
When planting Aubrieta, make sure to space them appropriately to allow for their spread and to promote good air circulation. Regular deadheading after blooming can encourage additional flowering.
If you're looking for a colorful addition to your garden that is relatively low maintenance, Aubrieta Blue could be a great choice!
