Aubrieta belongs to the genus of perennial herbaceous plants that can decorate any landscape. With its help, you can create a flowering carpet, both in vertical and horizontal position. Aubrieta completely covers the soil with leaves and lush flowering. In addition, she will feel great in vases or drawers on the balcony. Despite the dense coating, which creates the auspices, it will not interfere with the development of other types of decorative flowers.
The variety of colors of this plant is striking: blue, pink, purple, lilac, white. Its undoubted plus is the ability to survive even the most severe Siberian winters. With the onset of cooling, the sheath does not drop either flowers or leaves. As soon as the spring sun begins to warm the earth, the sheath will cover the place of its growth with a green carpet. In April-May it will already be possible to see her first flowers. Flowering will develop rapidly over the next 1.5 months.
The cultivation of this plant does not require special skills. To create a magnificent flowering rug of shaving in your own area is a task that even a beginner grower can do. The plant can be propagated by dividing an adult bush, and with the help of seeds. The latter method is preferable due to its simplicity and accessibility. Aubrieta: growing from seeds, when to plant? In open ground, seeds are planted twice a year - in spring in May or in autumn in September. Seedlings are transferred to the soil after spring frosts pass. Two months before planting in the soil, the seeds are placed in fertile soil in a container and covered with a film to form a “greenhouse effect”. The first shoots will not take long. After the shoots have risen, the film is removed.
The place where the aureth will grow should be wide in area, well-lit. The plant can be in other conditions, but only space and sunlight will make it strong and beautiful.
Excessive watering should be avoided, as too much moisture in the soil will lead to increased leaf growth. All nutrients will go green, while too few buds are formed. But in a hot, dry summer, you should not forget about watering, otherwise the plant will die. They feed the shaving twice a year - in the spring before the first buds appear and in the fall after pruning.
