Review Notes: In bold swathes, this is my favourite planting partner for Aubretia.
I missed the opportunity to snap a fantastic display in a neighbours garden. MUST get it next year.
Regretably I havent managed the display in my own garden yet.
Ive had two plants for years and they are yet to make a significant statement. I came to the conclusion that mine were a poor variety so I bought 'Schneeflocke' syn. 'Snowflake' this year because it has the RHS Award of Garden Merit distinction. I bought it in full bloom. The flowers were larger than my variety so I am hopeful that this is the right plant to link up a scheme. Ive planted it (in my Mrs McCandless bed) between a pink Azalea and a swathe of pink Pulmonaria with the blue aubretia in front and they were all in flower simultaneously this year.
The stems appear to be sturdier than my previous variety.
Ive now read that I should have been pruning them lightly after flowering to make them bushy. Wonderful what you pick up when you do a Top 100!
