Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about Cascade Dark Blue Aubrieta, including its use between stones, flowering development, and care after blooming.
Can Cascade Dark Blue Aubrieta grow between rocks and over garden walls?
Yes. Aubrieta is well suited to rock gardens, stone walls, slopes, and raised garden edges. Its low-growing, spreading foliage can extend over suitable surfaces and create a colorful display when flowering. Choose a location with adequate sunlight and well-drained growing conditions, and allow enough room for the plant to spread.
How long does Cascade Dark Blue Aubrieta take to flower from seed?
The time from sowing to flowering depends on the seed strain, germination conditions, sowing date, and local climate. Aubrieta is a perennial, so plants grown from seed may need time to establish before producing a substantial flowering display. Follow the seed supplier's growing instructions and provide suitable sunlight and drainage.
How should I care for Aubrieta after its blue flowers fade?
After flowering, lightly trim Cascade Dark Blue Aubrieta to maintain a compact, spreading shape and encourage fresh foliage. Remove faded flower stems where needed, keep the soil well drained, and water according to weather conditions. Avoid excessive watering and heavy feeding, which may encourage leafy growth instead of a compact plant habit.
