Aubretia are low-growing evergreen perennials that create stunning carpets of colour in spring. Flowering from March to May, they’re perfect for spilling over walls, edging borders, or filling gaps in rockeries. Their vibrant blooms — in rich shades of purple, pink, and blue — are a magnet for bees and early pollinators, bringing life and colour to the garden after winter.
Hardy and easy to grow, Aubretia thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it ideal for dry, sunny spots or gravel gardens. Once established, it forms dense mats of foliage that remain attractive all year round.
Popular varieties such as Aubretia ‘Dr Mules Variegata’, Aubretia ‘Axcent Lilac’, and Aubretia ‘Red Carpet’ offer a choice of colours and forms to suit any space. Whether cascading from walls or softening paths, Aubretia adds long-lasting charm and low-maintenance beauty to every garden.
