The plant arrived wilted, I planted it following the given advice. It did not recover. I was offered a small credit which is cancelled because the shipping costs of the order are higher than the credit, even though it is a fault of Promesse de Fleurs.

Description
Aubrieta 'Red Cascade' is a small perennial plant that forms, from the end of winter and throughout spring, adorable tapestry of small reddish-purple flowers, becoming more purple before fading. The rest of the year, its evergreen to semi-evergreen leaves will continue to adorn the garden. This very floriferous but short-lived perennial is easy to grow in cool and well-drained soil, in the sun. It will thrive between stones and slabs, cascade over walls, and bloom at the base of other plants in large planters.
Hybrid Aubrietas belong to the cabbage family, mostly derived from Aubrieta deltoidea, native to southeastern Europe and Turkey. They are plants with a compact and carpeting 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 silver-green and ovate in shape. In summer, the foliage sometimes turns yellow, without affecting the plant's health, as it will green up with the first rain. The small leaves have pointed tips and roughly serrated margins. In spring, between the end of March and the end of May, they are adorned with numerous small four-petaled flowers in a very bright pink-red shade, darkening slightly before the flower fades. These are very hardy plants, resistant to -20°C.
With its homogeneous carpeting growth, Aubrieta is ideally suited for border planting. Not demanding in terms of soil, as long as it is not too dry, it also thrives in rockeries or on flowering walls: it forms beautiful patches and beautiful flows of colours, like an impressionist painting. It colonizes the ground quite quickly, allowing it to be planted on a sunny slope. Between paving stones, in the crevices of walls, Aubrietas are fabulous. They also work well in balcony planters and hanging baskets, with their stems cascading over the container to hide its edges.

Planting and care
The 'Red Casade' Aubrieta is a relatively short-lived perennial. In order 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, it is necessary to water. This young 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.
