Aubrieta is a hardy, evergreen perennial known for its low, spreading growth habit that forms dense, flowering mats. Its small, light green to grayish-green foliage provides a handsome backdrop for the profusion of violet, pink, or white flowers that appear in mid-spring. Ideal for rock gardens, stone walls, and path edging, it thrives in full sun to partial shade and well-drained, lime-rich soil. This drought-tolerant groundcover is also a magnet for pollinators like bees and butterflies.
