Rock Cress "Cascade Purple"
Aubrieta "Cascade Purple" - Aubrieta hybrida.
Perennial herbaceous plant with creeping branched shoots, up to 10 cm high. Small oval leaves and purple-violet flowers 1 cm in diameter form a beautiful dense carpet.
The plant prefers open sunny areas and light nutrient soils.
The whole plant is very decorative at the time of flowering, when the leaves are almost invisible due to the mass of flowers. Blooms from May for about 35-45 days.
Winters with leaves!
Aubrieta is indispensable for a rocky hill, looks good in flower borders and at the joints of slabs of garden paths.
The optimum soil temperature for seed germination is +18+20 °C.
Location: only sunny, even in partial shade, shaving stretches and practically does not bloom.
Aubrieta prefers light, not too fertile soils with the addition of lime or chalk, does not tolerate sour heavy, waterlogged clays, as well as oily soil containing peat.
Moisture is especially destructive in winter, so plants are planted on rocky hills, in elevated or well-drained areas. After the May flowering, the plants are immediately pruned, which promotes a new, faster and more compact growth. In the autumn there is a re-flowering.
Sowing: produced in late April - May or November.
1,0 g = 2000-2500 seeds.
