AUBRIETIA

Hardy perennial



In the early months of the year few subjects in the garden present so

gay an appearance as Aubrietias, for with the first approach of genial

weather the cushion-like plants burst into a mass of delightful blossom.

For spring bedding, edgings, and the rock garden Aubrietias are

indispensable, and they make a particularly effective show when grown in

conjunction with Yellow Alyssum and White Arabis. Aubrietias are easily

grown from seed sown in May and June. The plants are best raised in pans

of light rich soil and may be put out in autumn where required to flower

in the following spring.
