How to Grow Aubrieta
Aubrieta thrives best when planted in well-draining, alkaline soil in a full sun location. As a member of the mustard family, this is a tough plant that requires little care. Once established, it has a good tolerance for drought, and it resists nibbling by deer.

Aubrieta plants need a moderate amount of water, but they don't like wet feet.

Aubrieta plants grow best in areas with cool summers that mirror their alpine climate.

Growing From Seeds
It is often grown from seed. Sow aubrieta seeds on top of sterile potting mix. The seeds need light for germination, so press seeds down but don't cover them. Keep seeds moist at about 68 degrees Fahrenheit. Germination will occur in two to three weeks.
