Apricot Drift®
The Apricot Drift® rose is a charming groundcover variety known for its double, apricot-colored blooms that appear in clusters from spring through the first frost. This compact, mounding shrub features dark green, glossy foliage that provides an elegant backdrop to its continuous floral display. Exceptionally tough and disease-resistant, it offers a fresh, low-maintenance look that is perfect for brightening up small garden spaces.
Grow Guide
- Light: Plant in Full Sun (at least 6–8 hours daily) to achieve the most prolific blooming and maintain plant vigor.
- Hardiness: Highly adaptable and suitable for Zones 4–11, making it resilient in both chilly winters and hot, humid summers.
- Spacing & Size: This variety has a low, spreading habit, reaching approximately 1½’ tall and 2–3′ wide. Space plants about 3 feet apart to create a seamless groundcover or border.
- Watering: Water regularly until established; once mature, it maintains average to low water needs but performs best in well-draining soil.
- Best Use: Its spilling habit makes it ideal for edging walkways, mass plantings on hillsides, or as a beautiful “spiller” in mixed patio containers.
