Aubrieta
Aubrieta (often misspelled as Aubretia) is a genus of flowering plants in the cabbage family Brassicaceae. The genus is named after Claude Aubriet, a French flower painter. It includes over 20 species native to southeastern Europe and Western Asia. Some species have escaped from gardens throughout Europe. It is a low, spreading plant, hardy, evergreen and perennial. It has small violet, pink, or white flowers, and it inhabits rocks and banks. It prefers light, well-drained soil, is tolerant of a wide pH range, and can grow in partial shade or full sun.
