Aubretia is fully hardy and flowers best in a sunny spot but will grow in semi shade. Aubretia prefers well drained soil and will tolerate drier conditions which is why it is so well suited to walls and rockeries. It requires next to no maintenance and is trouble free. To keep a compact shape cut back after flowering. Aubretia is best cut back by about 50% and it can simply be sheared. Doing this prevents the plant developing an open, bare center. It is best to cut back immediately after flowering, cutting back later in the year may interfere with the plant's flowering next year. However do not cut over winter.
Although Aubrieta is not scented, it is attractive to bees and long flowering.
