Description

Aubrieta deltoidea is a mat-forming perennial. It's an ideal plant for chinks in dry stone walls or between patio flagstones. It grows 2"-6" high, 1'-1.5' across. It produces small, gray green leaves with a few teeth at tips. During spring, tiny flowers found in pink, magenta, purple, red or lilac smother the plant. This ground cover does best in full sun or afternoon shade in hot areas. It needs well draining, rich soil. Bees love this plant. Tolerates moist or dry soil.
