The carrier did not deliver to the intended location but I received the delivery notice from the initial location... I went to the place and no package. As a result, the young plants spent 3 days in a heated room and it was only on Monday that I received the correct delivery location. When I opened the box, the perennials were in a bad condition. No problem with the bulbs. I don't know if they will recover... Especially the aubrietas, which were really in a bad state...

Description

Aubrieta 'Fiona' is a perennial that covers itself in spring with a thousand and one white flowers forming a carpet of colour in the garden. Throughout the rest of the year, its evergreen leaves will enhance rockeries and flower beds.

 

Aubrieta 'Fiona' is a creeping perennial that can reach a height of 5 cm (2in) and a spread of 60 cm (24in). It has evergreen green leaves, that are an ovate shape that tapers to a point with coarsely serrated margins. From April to May, Aubrieta 'Fiona' will be covered in nectar-rich flowers, pure white with yellow stamens, forming a carpet of colours. A spring show not to be missed!

 

Easy to grow and which is hardy to -20°C (1°F), it thrives in light, well-drained soil and also grows well in limestone soil. Ideal for rockeries, walls, borders, and paving, it loves sunny exposures. It pairs well with sedums, poppies, or geraniums.

Planting and care
