Rock Cress -Cascading Purple- Aubrieta Hybrida Superbissima
Aubrieta is a low-growing evergreen perennial. For several weeks in the Springtime, it will have beautiful deep purple flowers with a yellow center.
Plants should be trimmed lightly immediately after they bloom, to encourage a thick mounding habit. Rockcress looks beautiful cascading over rock walls and has purple blooms in spring.

I do not have an indoor garden so I am waiting until spring to plant. I will try planting closer to Feb or March in small pods watering with spray bottle, and slowly introduce the plants to outdoor conditions.
