Rock Cress - Axcent™ Blue with Eye

Rock Cress Axcent Blue with Eye, Aubrieta hybrida 'Axcent™ Blue with Eye', was bred and selected for its very long bloom time and its outstanding tolerance to heat and disease. 'Axcent™ Blue with Eye', with its large blooms, combined with a vigorous habit, makes for an excellent addition to any garden. It forms a low carpet of evergreen leaves, literally smothered by lavender-blue flowers for several weeks. This selection has single flowers of bright lavender-blue with a tiny yellow eye. Excellent in the rock garden, cascading over walls, for edging or in alpine containers. Keep the area around Aubrietia well-drained by adding a light layer of gravel on top of the soil. Shear the plant back after it blooms, using a garden scissors or bypass pruners. You may then get another round of flowers in summer. Shearing also keeps the plant looking tidy.
