The aubrieta genus, or 'rock cress,' is a collection of low-growing, flowering perennials which require basic and reasonable care. Their care involves access to full sun and well-drained, slightly alkaline soil. Regular watering, with exceptions during wet winter months, and cool temperature conditions promote their growth. Common challenges include aphids, which can be aided by natural predators, and leaf spot disease caused by excess moisture. Seasonally, aubrietas bloom in the spring and require pruning post-flowering for healthy regrowth. These considerations will help maintain aubrieta's rich foliage and vibrancy.
