Aubretia Trailing Aubrieta Katie Mixed Plug Plants x 6 Perennial Rock Cress

Product Information

Once established, there are no special watering needs, although plants in dry walls and hot, full-sun locations may benefit from a once-a-week deep watering. Although a very simple and common garden plant, it is a lovely sight in spring to see a well established Aubrieta trailing over a wall a mass of blue, purple and pink; Aubretia looks pretty and makes a cheerful splash of colour. Key points: Being native to the UK, creeping jenny dislikes overly hot conditions and prefers moist soil.

I recommend: I suggest Phlox ‘McDaniels Cushion’, I’ve seen this one a few times and looks perfect for draping down walls and around rocks. Creeping jenny produces long stems holding lobe-like gold and green leaves, and as a hardy perennial, it will keep its leaves in all but the harshest of winters.This trailing bacopa plant is the perfect companion and is often used to hang over the edges of tubs where the hundreds of small daisy-like blooms complement, but do not distract from the other plants in the pot. Aubrieta does not require winter protection, unless it's grown in a container in a climate with heavy freezes. My experience: I tried this plant in 2020, and while trailing heuchera didn’t trail as much as I had hoped, the deep red and brown colours added lots of punch.

Top dress with a 50/50 mixture of horticultural sand and leaf mould with a small handful of lime added, in spring. My experience: I’ve seen nasturtiums covering walls, fences and draping over large containers, I think they are a great option to consider. My experience: I’ve found that Ivy Geraniums are sensitive to underwatering and required extra care when I planted them in a rockery that was on the dry side.Vigorous and eye-catching, Aubrieta deltoidea (Rock Cress) is a mat-forming, semi-evergreen perennial plant that produces delightful, vivid purple-red flowers in mid-late spring to early summer. However, growers have now produced disease-resistant plants, and I’ve seen first-hand that they perform much better.
