Description
- Masses of rich purple flowers in spring
- Neat mounds of evergreen foliage
- Ideal for rock gardens
- Tidy habit, less leggy than other varieties
Aubrieta ‘Blue Tit’ (also known as ‘Blaumeise’) is a splash of bright colour in mid and late spring, with neat evergreen mounds of foliage simply smothered in masses of tiny rich purple flowers. It’s compact and slow-growing with a very tidy habit, less prone to getting leggy than many other aubrietas, and looks superb as ground cover in a rock garden or spilling lavishly over a low wall.
How you will receive your plants:
Selected by our team of experts and sent from our nursery, you will receive your garden ready plug plants in plug trays in a box. These are designed to keep your plants secure and to prevent damage in transit.
Can’t plant straight away?
If you aren't able to plant your plugs up straight away then ensure they stay moist. You can place your plugs on a saucer or tray of shallow water so they are able to stay hydrated. Aim to have your plugs planted within 3 days.
Planting tips and hints:
Planting in containers: Sprinkle a layer of stone or gravel in the bottom of the container to aid drainage. Use a high-quality young plant or general-purpose compost space the plugs evenly with enough space to allow the plants to grow. Mix in a slow-release granular fertiliser in the compost before planting to provide plenty of nutrients. Water thoroughly once planted up. Continue to water every 3-5 days and don't allow the container to dry out.
Planting in the ground: Dig a hole approximately twice as deep and 3 times as wide as the plant, if your soil is heavy mix in well-rotted farmyard manure or soil conditioner to ensure good drainage. Gently compact the soil around the plant and water thoroughly.
Feeding and aftercare: Cut the plants back hard after they have finished flowering to keep them looking tidy – this may also produce a second flush of flowers.
