Aubrieta deltoidea |
 |
Two varieties have graced our garden through the years. Our first was Aubrieta deltoidea var. leichtlinii, which performed nicely with flowers starting in April - but disappeared after a few years. More recently, we've tried the cultivar 'Whitewall Gem'. To me, it's about the same, with maybe slightly lighter-colored flowers.

Visitors to this page have left the following comments| Susan Shurin | Apr 17, 2009 | I saw a spectacular bed of purple rock cress (Aubrieta deltoidea) in a botanical garden in Geneva, and have a great location for it. The deer are very active, however, and eat even things they should avoid. How attractive is this plant to deer? Thanks a lot.
Susan - I have no problem with deer (knock on wood), so I don't know first-hand. However, with aubrieta being in the generally edible cabbage family, I would not be surprised if deer browsed them... |
