Aubrieta ‘Graeca’
Botanical Name: Aubrieta graeca
Type: Hardy Perennial

Aubrieta ‘Graeca’ is a beautiful, low-growing rock garden favourite that forms a dense mat of evergreen foliage, covered in a profusion of vibrant purple-violet blooms in spring. Perfect for rockeries, walls, slopes, and edging, this charming perennial provides early-season colour when few other flowers are in bloom. Its hardy, drought-tolerant nature and cascading habit make it ideal for brightening up garden edges and containers.
