    Hi thanks for your reply. No, I suppose it doesn't have to be aubretia, I thought it would be hardy enough but, obviously I was wrong. I just want something that I do not have to replant each year, evergreen, low forming/cascading with plenty of colour so, any further suggestions would be gratefully received. I will have a look at the dianthus too. Read more..

    Thank you so much for your help. I have been looked on a couple of websites at the different types of dianthus. As you said my 2nd floor exposed balcony is just like a rock face which, is one of the reasons why I chose Aubretia (as it was grown on the Brecon Beacons). But, I will take your advice and have a look at some rockery websites for inspiration. I will let you know how I get on and what I choose. Thanks again. Read more..

    HI all I am a newbie hoping for some assistance in growing Aubretia!!! I know you are probably thinking this is one of the easiest plants to grow but, I have had no/very little success with either seeds or established plants . I think it may be due to the fact that I live on the 2nd floor, directly on the sea front, facing a SW direction, totally exposed to the eliments and trying to grow this spendid plant in small window boxes!!! Looking forward to seeing this blooming on my balcony with your help Read more..
