Aubretia ‘Cascade Red’
Approx. 40 seeds
A stunning spring-flowering perennial that produces a vibrant carpet of rich crimson-red blooms over neat cushions of evergreen foliage. Aubretia ‘Cascade Red’ is perfect for tumbling over walls, edging paths, softening the fronts of borders and filling rockeries with colour just when the garden is beginning to burst into life after winter.
This hardy, low-growing plant flowers profusely in spring, creating a striking display that attracts bees and other early pollinators. Easy to grow and drought tolerant once established, it thrives in sunny positions and well-drained soil. Its spreading habit makes it ideal for ground cover, containers and hanging baskets, where the flowering stems can spill attractively over the edge.
A reliable cottage garden favourite, ‘Cascade Red’ provides years of spring colour with very little maintenance.
