Aubrieta rock cress seeds — spring on the stones

Aubrieta rock cress is the quintessential alpine cushion — evergreen mats that erupt into sheets of purple, violet, blue, pink and rose flowers in spring, cascading over walls, rockeries and gravel. This hardy perennial sits within our perennial flower seed range; you'll also find it listed simply as aubrieta. New to flowers? Our flower growing guide gets you started.

Little else clothes a stone wall so generously in spring — the calendar shows when to sow.

The alpine wall classic

Trailing and tough, rock cress is one of the best ground-cover flowers for sunny, dry stone, and its early bloom feeds the first bees as one of our bee-friendly flowers. For the named hybrid forms, see Aubrieta hybrida.

Growing aubrieta rock cress from seed

Sow in spring, barely covering the fine seed, and keep it cool and bright to germinate. Plant out into a sunny, sharply drained spot or wall crevice, and shear the cushions back hard after flowering to keep them dense and encourage a fresh flush of leaves.

Planting a rockery or dry wall? Here's where to look next.

What is rock cress?
Rock cress is the common name for aubrieta, a low evergreen alpine perennial grown for its dense spring carpets of flowers. Where does aubrieta rock cress grow best?
In full sun with sharp drainage — dry stone walls, rockeries and gravel are ideal for its trailing mats. When should I sow rock cress seeds?
Sow in spring, barely covering the seed and keeping it cool and bright. See our flower sowing calendar for timing. Should I trim aubrieta after flowering?
Yes — shear the cushions back hard once flowering finishes to keep them dense and tidy.
