The detail
Aubrieta (also known as aubretia) is a hardy alpine perennial prized for its ability to produce dense carpets of vivid colour in early to mid spring. These high-performing, low-growing plants burst into flower with masses of small, four-petalled blooms in shades of blue, purple, pink and striking bicolours, sitting just above neat, semi-evergreen foliage. Typically reaching 10–15 cm tall with a spreading habit up to 40–60 cm, they are ideal for softening hard landscaping, trailing over walls and filling gaps in borders with long-lasting seasonal colour.
Our Aubrieta plants are professionally grown in high-quality peat-free compost and freshly delivered directly from our UK nursery in Yorkshire, in plastic-free, giftable packaging. Supplied as strong, well-established 1-litre rootballs (sets of 3 or 6 plants), they feature dense, fibrous root systems and healthy foliage, ensuring rapid establishment, reliable ground coverage and vibrant flowering performance year after year.
