Aubrietia

Aubrietia  (Aubrieta)

Aubrietia (Aubrieta) is a compact, mat forming plant for the border edge, on walls or in the rockery. They are plants for in the full sun and like a slight alkaline soil. Cutting Aubrietia back after flowering stimulates mat- or mound forming and healthy re-growth. If too wet in winter, you may lose your plants. Ensuring good drainage will eliminate this. Use Aubrietia in combination with Dwarf Iris (Iris pumila), Creeping Phlox (Phlox) or Sun Rose (Helianthemum).
