Purple Rock Cress. Aubrieta gracea
Aubrieta is a low, spreading perennial that forms a dense mat of small, grey-green evergreen leaves. In early spring, it becomes completely covered in vivid flowers, most often in shades of purple, violet, pink, or blue, creating a striking carpet of colour. Its trailing habit makes it especially eye-catching when allowed to spill over edges, with blooms appearing so densely that the foliage is nearly hidden at peak flowering.
