This perennial is semi-evergreen so it can lose some of its leaves in winter. In colder regions or more exposed gardens, it may lose them all, but then fresh new growth appears again in spring.

• Position: full sun or partial shade
• Soil: moderately fertile, well-drained, preferably neutral or alkaline
• Rate of growth: average to fast
• Flowering period: March to May
• Hardiness: fully hardy
  
  Insects and alpine enthusiasts adore this hardy spring aubretia for its nectar-rich pure white flowers over light-green foliage, and its cascading capacity to tumble over walls and across rockeries. ‘Axcent White' will carpet its spreading foliage with blooms, making it perfect for pots, edging well-drained sunny borders, and trailing over drystone walls.
  
  
• Garden care: Avoid waterlogging, particularly in winter, and to keep the plants looking bushy, cut back hard immediately after flowering. This may also encourage a second, less prolific, flush of flowers.
