Aubrieta ‘Cascade Purple’
Rock Cress |
USDA Zone: 4-9 |
Plant number: 1.090.170
Rock Cress is a popular spring-flowering rock garden perennial. It forms a low carpet of evergreen leaves, literally smothered by flowers for several weeks. This strain has single flowers in shades of deep purple to mauve, with a tiny yellow eye. Nice along pathway edges, rock walls, or in alpine containers. Plants should be trimmed lightly immediately after blooming, to encourage a thick mounding habit.
