Product Description
Great Rock Garden Plant
True to its name, rock cress is an ideal plant for the rock garden! It is a low-growing ground cover with a mounding habit that makes it excellent for use in the landscape.
Rock Cress Cascading (Aubrieta Hybrida Superbissima Cascade Red)
This terrific perennial can be easily grown from seeds! Aubrieta Cascade Red, commonly known as Rock Cress, is an extremely popular rock garden plant and a familiar sight in the spring garden. It forms a low cushion of evergreen leaves, literally smothered by flowers for several months.
This Rock Cress variety has flowers of bright red over grey-green leaves. These ground cover plants should be trimmed lightly immediately after blooming, to encourage a thick mounding habit.
Rock Cress plants are an excellent choice for a rock garden in sun or partial shade, growing over rock walls, or in alpine troughs, containers, or in mass plantings for a flowering ground cover. Aubrieta plants will tolerate light foot traffic.
Delightful Ground Cover
How to Grow
Aubrieta seeds should be sown indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost. Sow into a sterilized starter mix in starter trays. Press the seeds into the soil and very lightly cover: aubrieta seeds need light for germination.
Keep the soil moist until germination, which should occur in 14-21 days. Once seedlings have become established and all danger of frost has passed, they can be planted directly outdoors.
These seeds can also be started directly outdoors in the spring after all frost danger has passed. Sow the seeds into a prepared seedbed outdoors and keep the soil moist until germination.

SUPPORT REQUEST:
This is the second year I ordered moonflower vine seeds from you. The first year every one of the seeds germinated. I started them by clipping and soaking in water. This year I ordered 1/4 lb and not one germinated. I would like a replacement.
REPLY FROM OUTSIDEPRIDE
We're very sorry for the difficulty . I know with the seed. All of our seed meets or exceeds 70% germination as tested by independent labs. The most common reason for poor germination is the seed drying out between irrigations. It’s best to irrigate lightly, multiple times throughout the day to ensure that the seeds stay moist. If the seed stays moist, is kept at the recommended temperature and isn’t buried too deeply, it will have good germination (as listed on the label) and establishment. Any questions regarding temperature or depth requirements for each seed can be found on our website.
This is what our warranty states:
We cannot guarantee establishment of seed due to various factors over which we have no control. Many seeds are very tiny and a hard rainfall, planting too deep, soil pH, not keeping the seed moist, cold temperatures, and other environmental factors may hinder success. This is why we do not guarantee the germination of seed.
I REPLIED:
That's Okay,
This email was just to inform you that I spent $13.00 1/4lb of seeds that refused to sprout. Your answer about the possibility that the seeds could be dried out (I agree) tells me that other seeds from your company could be dried out as well. The other reason you give is about drying out of the irrigation. The seeds never had the opportunity to experience any drying out on this end, as they never sprouted in the bowl of water, which was provided, (I will attach a video of how to sprout moon vines in case you are not aware) which says that if this was true, they were dried out before they were shipped to me. I will cancel out the seeds I ordered.
yesterday just in case they could be defective as well and post this experience, so others won't make the mistake of ordering seeds from your company.
Like I mentioned in my previous email, I ordered from you last year with good results from your sprouting your seeds. I am 76 years old and a long-time gardener as well as a certified Master Gardener and I know how to grow Moon vines.
Sorry you are so defensive on this matter, but fortunately I learned a good lesson as to not buy in the future from your company and to warn others! This is not about the money, it's about the principal of selling a defective product.
Have a nice day,
Almost immediately after sending this last email, the ad for the Moon vines was removed from Amazon so I couldn't post a revue. This is the reason I'm addressing this issue on a different order (which I'm returning). I called Amazon and I was pleased to find that Amazon completely supported me on this issue. They refunded the money and are making contact with this company.
