Aubrieta Seed ( Perennial )

Useful gardening information

Grow aubrieta, or rock cress, for its beautiful early-spring carpet of violet, pink, or white flowers, creating vibrant ground cover and valuable early-season color. This evergreen, drought-tolerant perennial is an excellent choice for rock gardens, walls, and containers, offers low maintenance, and is resistant to deer. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, suppressing weeds and providing food for pollinators like bees and butterflies.

Sow Aubrieta ground cover seed indoors 6 - 8 weeks before the last expected frost date. Use starter trays using a sterilized mix. Press the Rock Cress ground cover seeds into the soil and thinly cover. The Aubrieta seed needs light to germinate. Transplant into the garden 12 inches apart after frost danger has passed.
