A springtime essential for adding early-season colour to walls, rockeries, and sunny borders, Aubretia hybrida creates a soft mat of vibrant purple blooms that spill beautifully over edges and containers. Loved for its compact, spreading habit and ease of care, this low-growing perennial is ideal for brightening up front gardens and raised beds across South London.
