Sow your Rockcress or Aubretia seeds once and enjoy them for years. These hardy perennials flower reliably every spring and they become so covered with flowers that it's hard to see the leaves! The mound-forming plants are wonderful in rockeries, but they also make a fabulous edging for garden beds and will look great even when they're not in flower. Don't forget that there's also a purple flowering variety. Mix and match for an even more striking effect.
