Although I've always been satisfied with my purchases from Promesse de fleurs until now, this time I was both disappointed and shocked by the pitiful state of the Aubrieta I received!??? I planted them, but without much hope. Wait and see...

Description
Aubrieta 'Purple Cascade' forms in spring carpets of small flowers of a very pure light purple. This pretty flowering perennial plant is easy to grow in the sun, in well-drained soil. The rest of the year, its evergreen leaves with a silvery green colour will continue to dress up the garden. It is ideal in rock gardens, above retaining walls or as ground cover, and forms a very beautiful combination with the variety 'Red Cascade'.
The hybrid Aubrietas belong to the family of Brassicaceae, mostly derived from Aubrieta deltoidea, native to southeastern Europe and Turkey. They are compact and carpeting plants, forming cushions that do not exceed 15cm (6in) in height, spreading quite rapidly over a diameter of 60cm (24in). Their semi-evergreen to evergreen leaves, depending on the climate, are slightly silvery green and oval in shape. In summer, the foliage sometimes turns yellow, without affecting the plant's health, which will turn green again with the first rain. The small leaves end in a point and have roughly serrated margins. In spring, between the end of March and the end of May, 'Purple Cascade' is adorned with numerous small flowers with four petals, in a light violet tone of beautiful intensity. These are very hardy plants, resistant to -20°C (1°F).
With its homogeneous carpeting growth, Aubrieta is ideally suited for planting in borders. Not demanding in terms of soil, as long as it is not too dry, it also thrives in rock gardens or on flowering retaining walls: it forms pretty patches and beautiful streams of colours, like an impressionist painting. It quickly colonizes the ground, which allows it to be planted on a sunny slope. Between the joints of paving stones, in the crevices of retaining walls, Aubrietas are fabulous. They also work well in balconies and hanging baskets, their stems will cascade over the container to hide its edges. The variety 'Purple Casacde' pairs well with the reddish-purple colour of 'Royal Red', or pastel tulips, silver basket, Montpellier soapwort, or Erigeron karvinskianus.

Planting and care
The 'Purple Cascade' Aubrieta is a relatively short-lived perennial. To overcome this problem, make cuttings of the plant every 2 or 3 years, or divide the rhizomatous stump every 2 or 3 years. It will thrive in the sun, in well-drained but not too dry, even chalky, light soil. In case of prolonged drought, watering is necessary. This little plant has no other requirements.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
