Aubrieta gracilis ‘Kitte Blue’


Dwarf Rock Cress

 USDA Zone: 4-9

Plant number: 1.090.660


Rock Cress is a popular spring-flowering rock garden perennial. It forms a low cushion of evergreen leaves, literally smothered by flowers for several weeks. This species is very compact or tight in habit with blue flowers. Excellent in the rock garden or scree, cascading over walls, for edging or in alpine containers. Plants should be trimmed lightly immediately after blooming, to encourage a thick mounding habit.
