«Pink» - Organic Aubrieta Seeds

A superb variety that becomes absolutely smothered in small flowers of rich pink. It gives a wonderful spring display and mixes well with spring bulbs. Perfect for rockeries, borders, edging paths and looks fantastic cascading over the edge of dry stone walls.

A trim after flowering will tidy the plant and may encourage a further flush of flowers.
 

Aubrieta grows well from seed. It is easy to establish and requires a minimum of water as the seedlings grow. Choose a sunny spot in the garden in early spring with well-draining soil or alternately start seeds indoors in flats 6 to 8 weeks before planting outdoors. Remove any debris and till soil to a depth of 6 inches (15 cm.). Sow seeds on the surface of the soil. Water gently with a diffuser attachment to prevent drowning seeds and pushing them under too much soil. Keep the area moderately wet but not soggy. Once seedlings appear, keep weed pests from the area and thin plants to one every 10 inches (25 cm.). Over the spring, false rockcress plants will gradually spread out to cover the area in a thick carpet. Young plants may develop a few spotty flowers but a full flush of blooms should not be expected until the following year.
