Description
The 'Hamburger Stadtpark' Aubrieta is a particularly vigorous and floriferous German variety, which quickly forms beautiful cascades of small flowers in an intense violet, slightly blue, very bright colour. It blooms in spring, on a dense carpet of small silver-green leaves, ornamental even in winter. An essential classic in rockeries and on walls.
Hybrid Aubrietas belong to the Brassicaceae family, mostly originating from Aubrieta deltoidea, native to southeastern Europe and Turkey. They are rhizomatous plants with a compact and spreading habit, forming cushions that do not exceed 15cm (6in) in height, spreading quite rapidly over a diameter of 60cm (24in). Their semi-evergreen to evergreen leaves, depending on the climate, are slightly silvery green and oval in shape. In summer, the foliage sometimes turns yellow, without affecting the health of the plant, which will regain its green colour with the first rain. The small leaves end in a point and have coarsely serrated margins. In spring, between the end of March and the end of May, 'Hamburger Stadtpark' is adorned with numerous small flowers with four petals, in a beautiful intense violet shade.
Very hardy, Aubrietas can withstand -20°C (1°F) without any problems. With a homogeneous spreading growth, they are ideally suited for border planting. Not demanding in terms of soil, as long as it is not too dry, they also thrive in rockeries or on flowering walls: they create lovely patches of colours, like an impressionist painting. They are good colonizing plants, which allows for greening a sun-exposed slope, the joints of paving stones, the gaps in walls - Aubrietas are fabulous. They also work well in balconies and hanging baskets, with their stems cascading over the container to hide its edges. The 'Hamburger Stadtpark' variety pairs well with the reddish-purple colour of Aubrieta 'Royal Red', Dianthus gratianopolitanus 'Eydangeri' or pastel tulips, silver basket, Montpellier soapwort, or Erigeron karvinskianus.

Planting and care
The 'Hambuger Stadtpark' Aubrieta is a relatively short-lived perennial. To overcome this problem, make cuttings of the plant every 2 or 3 years, or divide the rhizomatous stump every 2 or 3 years. It will thrive in the sun, in well-drained but not too dry, even limestone, light soil. In case of prolonged drought, watering is necessary. Optionally, remove the faded flowers from the plant to strengthen it and keep its habit compact; and if the weather permits, it will offer you a flowering in autumn. This small plant has no other requirements.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
