Aubrieta Rich Rose Seeds – Irish Plants Direct

 

Aubrieta Rich Rose (Aubrieta hybrida) is a vibrant, low-growing perennial prized for its rich rose-pink blooms and evergreen foliage.

 

Flowering early in spring, this variety forms a dense mat of colour that cascades beautifully over walls, rockeries, and borders bringing bold charm and pollinator appeal to garden edges and stonework.

 

Thriving in well drained, moderately fertile soil, Aubrieta Rich Rose flourishes in full sun and tolerates light shade.

 

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

Sowing Instructions

 

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 Rich Rose delivers bold spring colour and reliable ground cover with its vivid blooms and evergreen texture. Perfect for rockeries, walls, and pollinator-friendly planting.
