Aubrieta gracilis ‘Florado Blue Eye’ is a stunning, low-growing perennial that bursts into vibrant colour in early spring. Known for its striking, deep blue flowers with contrasting white centres, this variety of Aubrieta offers a captivating display of colour, ideal for rock gardens, hanging baskets, or edging borders. The eye-catching blooms are held above dense, silvery-green foliage, providing an appealing contrast throughout the growing season. ‘Florado Blue Eye’ thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it perfect for sunny spots and poor, dry soil. Its mat-forming habit makes it an excellent choice for weed-suppressing ground cover in borders, containers and hanging baskets, quickly filling gaps and suppressing weeds. Once established, it is drought-tolerant and requires minimal maintenance, making it an ideal choice for low-maintenance gardens. This hardy perennial attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies, making it a valuable addition to a wildlife-friendly garden. With its charming appearance and vibrant blooms, Aubrieta gracilis ‘Florado Blue Eye’ is an excellent choice for adding early spring colour to any garden.
