Aubrieta Large Flowered Mixed (Aubrieta hybrida) is a vibrant, low growing perennial known for its larger than usual blooms in a cheerful mix of purple, violet, pink, and lavender.

 

Flowering early in the season, this variety forms a dense carpet of colour that cascades beautifully over walls, rockeries, and borders bringing long lasting charm and pollinator appeal to spring gardens.

 

Thriving in well drained, moderately fertile soil, Aubrieta Large Flowered Mixed flourishes in full sun and tolerates light shade.

 

Its evergreen foliage and spreading habit make it ideal for ground cover and edging, while the nectar-rich flowers attract bees and early,season pollinators.

Sowing Instruction

 

Indoors:

Sow seeds thinly on the surface of fine seed compost from February to April. Lightly press seeds but do not cover, as light aids germination. Maintain a temperature of 15–18°C and keep the soil moist. Once seedlings are strong enough, prick out into individual pots and grow on until ready to plant outdoors.

 

 

Outdoors:

Transplant seedlings into a sunny or lightly shaded location with well-drained soil after the last frost. Space 30–45 cm apart. Mulch lightly and water during dry spells to encourage healthy growth and flowering.

 

 

Aubrieta Large Flowered Mixed offers bold spring colour and reliable ground cover with its oversized blooms and evergreen foliage. Perfect for rockeries, walls, and pollinator-friendly planting.
