Product Description
Rock Cress
If you want a low growing plant to hang out of baskets, hang over a rock wall, or just add to your landscaping color, this Aubrieta cascading Rock Cress is a perfect choice. Rock cress looks beautiful cascading over rock walls and has purple blooms in spring.
Rock cress: Aubrieta cascade
How to grow
Sow Aubrieta ground cover seed indoors 6 - 8 weeks before the last expected frost date.
Use starter trays using a sterilized mix. Press the Rock Cress ground cover seeds into the soil and thinly cover. The Aubrieta seed needs light to germinate.
Transplant into the garden 12 inches apart after frost danger has passed. After frost season has passed, Rock Cress ground cover seeds can be directly sown into a prepared seedbed outdoors.
Plant Specifications
- Depth: Seeds must be covered thinly
- Height: 4 inches
- Width: 24 inches
- Environment: Full sun to partial shade
- Soil Type: Well-drained, pH 6.5 - 7.5
The perfect plant for hanging baskets
Or hang it over a rock wall, fence, or deck
Regardless of the type you choose to grow, the care of rock cress plants is relatively minimal. Water new rock cress plants regularly and only when the soil is dry once they are established. Rock cress ground cover does well in fair soil that has good drainage and is slightly acidic. Applying a light pine needle mulch helps retain moisture and increase acidity.
A high nitrogen fertilizer can be applied when first planting and a phosphorus fertilizer just after blooming. Rock cress will bloom the second spring after planting and every year after that. Regular pruning to remove dead flowers will keep the plant healthy and encourage new growth. It is seldom necessary to treat rock cress for pests or disease. Now that you know the basics on how to grow rock cress ground cover, you can add an attractive touch to a rock garden or wall.

Sucker , the joke is on me!
I've been naive 3 times this year buying seeds from Amazon. Twice the seeds were from outsidepride. These ones germinated fast and died slowly (every single spout died). The other seeds were supposed to be ground cover and are strange plants now 2 feet tall taking over the garden, Outsidepride couldn't identify the plant sold by Amazon on their packaging. Yes Amazon refunded the cost of the seeds. My time and water however, outsidejoke.
