Maintenance Tips for Aubrieta 'Regado White'

Aubrieta 'Regado White' is a low-maintenance plant, but a little care ensures it stays healthy and vibrant. Here are some essential maintenance tips:

• Watering:

• Feeding:

  • Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring to encourage healthy growth and abundant flowering.

  • After flowering, lightly trim back the plant to maintain a neat shape and encourage fresh growth.
  • Remove dead or damaged stems throughout the year to keep the plant tidy.

• Mulching:

  • Mulch around the base of the plant with organic material to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
  • Keep the mulch away from the crown to prevent rot.

  • Generally pest-free but occasionally attracts aphids. Use an appropriate insecticide or natural predator like ladybirds if necessary.
  • Ensure good air circulation to reduce the risk of fungal diseases.
