EP186 - How to plant Aubrieta plants

On Todays 5minute Friday, I am going to show you how to plant up Aubrieta’s.
We are doing something very Autumnal today, even though the weather, has been unusually warm for October, which has been a good thing, as we get to enjoy more time in our gardens.
Generally, when we plant up this time of year, it is to see the fruits of our labour, next year. For the Aubrieta that we are planting today, we will see it in the spring.
We have 3 lovely varieties to use today, we have the Doctor Mules variegated, then 2 Katie varieties, Katie Red Shades, and Katie Blue. All deep, vibrant colours.
Aubrieta
The Aubrieta is a cheerful, trailing perennial, perfect for spring containers, borders, courtyards and cottage gardens. The genus is named after a French flower painter, Claude Aubriet.
These are very reliable, mainstay plants, that will provide a carpet of colour. It will give you sweeping clusters of flowers, that will cascade over edges, or pop from walls, paths, or rocks. They are hardy throughout the UK.
